After watching Peyton Manning throw on New Year's Eve, former Colts president Bill Polian believes the quarterback will return to play "at a high level."
Polian concedes that Manning's recovery is "coming, but coming slowly." His take-away from Manning's throwing session differs considerably from previous reports. "It's marked (improvement) from where he was back in September," Polian said. "He threw it accurately, he threw it with a good, tight spiral, and he threw it with velocity. Generally, he looked like a pretty confident quarterback out there." Polian also noted that Manning made several throws across his body.
