Peyton Manning: Draft profile and testing record
The Colts article calls the familiar 4.8 second claim alleged. It does not name an official timed event. We could not verify a sprint from that account. The other drill fields also lack a record in our reviewed sources.
Read the workout in context
The Colts took the Tennessee passer first overall in 1998. The Hall of Fame draft list confirms the pick. That source tells us when and where he entered the league. It gives no running time.

College, size and draft selection
The college listed for this draft entry is Tennessee. The selection was round 1, pick 1, in 1998, by Indianapolis Colts. This identifies the selecting club rather than a present day team.
This review does not attach an unverified height or weight to the workout. Draft measurements describe that point in time. A later team roster can list different measurements, so use a dated roster for a current size question.
What this profile can answer
Start with the event notes when checking a sprint or jump claim. Then use the table to see which tests have a result. The draft section covers the college and selecting club, while the dedicated evidence pages answer narrower speed and assessment questions.
This is a historical testing profile, not a live injury or roster update. A workout cannot tell you whether an athlete will play this week. Check the current team injury report for availability and an official gamebook for game statistics.
What to check for this record
The source does not settle the running time question. It calls the claim alleged rather than giving a timed event result. Leaving out that limit would make the answer seem more certain than the record. A draft pick alone cannot confirm a sprint.
Questions readers ask
Which draft team selected this player?
Indianapolis Colts selected the Tennessee QB in round 1, at pick 1, in 1998. This is draft history, not a current roster claim.
What does an empty test field mean?
It means the reviewed source does not record a result. It does not mean zero, and it does not prove why the athlete did not have a listed mark.
Sources and review method
We checked the linked records for this update. Team and school reports can explain the event. Historical tables compile results and may leave fields empty. We keep that distinction visible and do not claim an affiliation with the source publishers.
