VIDEO: Peyton Manning's 18-year career honored with Madden montage

EA Sports released a video compilation Tuesday of 18 years of Madden football featuring Peyton Manning's evolving avatar.

The video shows Manning as a pixelated rookie in Madden '99, tossing touchdowns to old teammates Reggie Wayne, Marvin Harrison, and Dallas Clark, and, of course, capping off his career by winning Super Bowl 50.

Despite being one of the greatest players in NFL history, Manning was never named a Madden cover athlete.
