When the $20 billion Twitter became a subsidiary of X Corp. following Elon Musk’s acquisition in 2022, it added yet another feather to Musk’s cap. However, while the tech mogul celebrated another success, a certain football icon refrained from joining the chorus.

Peyton Manning, the NFL star with a storied 18-year career, didn’t send out celebratory tweets, or any tweet for that matter. In fact, his Twitter timeline remains eerily silent, triggering countless fan speculations. Why? The answer lies deep within the gridiron giant’s personal preferences. In a world dominated by social media, the NFL legend remains curiously silent.

Manning’s muted stance on social media

Peyton Manning, who lit up NFL stadiums with his exceptional quarterbacking, seemingly plays a different game online. He has a Twitter following of 1574 and follows just 32, despite only ever posting twice, both times in 2014. Yet, this limited presence has fueled numerous impersonators to flood the platform, the most humorous being “Peyton’s Head”.

While Manning acknowledges his outdated digital presence, stating, “I can kind of keep up a little bit… but I’m probably not as up to date as probably everybody else,” it’s evident his detachment from the digital world isn’t exclusive to Twitter. His joining Instagram on his 46th birthday was considered late by today’s standards, revealing a deliberate distance from the social media frenzy.

Manning’s touchdown in entertainment

Retiring as one of the greatest quarterbacks ever, Manning’s prowess wasn’t just limited to the football field. From the turf to the TV, he explored the entertainment industry and eventually founded Omaha Productions. This venture further solidified his reputation with its production of Manning cast. It’s where he and his brother, Eli, offer a fresh take on ESPN’s Monday Night Football.

The contrast of Manning’s silence on social platforms and his vibrant post-retirement activities paints a picture of a man who chooses where to place his energy. While he may not be the most active on Twitter or Instagram, he’s crafted a niche that respects both his privacy and his interests.
