The Facts:
In his first OTA sessions with the Broncos, Manning was more of a teacher than he was a quarterback, reports Eli Kaberon of Pro Football Weekly. As a future Hall of Famer coming off a career-threatening neck injury, Manning has spent the practices teaching his new teammates how he plans to lead them as the offense evolves towards the system he ran during his time with the Indianapolis Colts.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
On Tuesday, the Denver Post reported that Manning was clearly in charge of the workouts. "I can't tell you how important these OTAs are," Manning said. "They're important to everybody. But when you're a new player, on a new team, coming off an injury, they take on added importance. I thought today was an excellent start. ..." And why any of this would come as a surprise to anybody is a bit beyond us, but confirmation of the expected has become the expected. So it's comfirmed: Peyton Manning likes to run things on his teams. Shocking. We'll go ahead and advise you not to be surprised upon learning that Manning continued to assert himself when the team resumes OTAs on Wednesday.
