Gatorade Honors Retired Peyton Manning with New '#DearPeyton' Ad

While sending handwritten notes to people has become less and less common during the technology age, Peyton Manning has always been one to take a few minutes here and there to write letters to people when he feels it's appropriate.

Now that the future Hall of Famer's career is over, Gatorade has used the quarterback's thoughtfulness as a way to honor him in retirement.

Gatorade tracked down some of the people Manning has written letters to through the years, from family to teammates to fans. As a way to pay tribute to the two-time Super Bowl champion, the letter recipients reflected on the notes they have received from Manning.

As evidenced by the videos, the personal touch of a handwritten letter made a lasting impact on each and every individual who received one.

The video above is a compilation of all the different shots filmed. To watch more from each person, check out the clips below:
