The duo was filming a Frito-Lays World Cup advertisement, and during the breaks, they hung out bragging about their respective sports. The former quarterback took this opportunity to have an American football talk with Beckham and asked if he needed to teach him to pass the pigskin.
Well, to everyone’s surprise, he didn’t have to because Beckham was already nailing it. He threw the ball from a much wider distance. He threw his first successful pass from around 30 yards and impressed the quarterback who said, “That’s good!” Although the ball wobbled in the air for quite some time, Sheriff was pleased to approve his pass.
“Good grip! I like the high release!” Manning said. He also mentioned that he had countered similar issues with wobbling during his playing days. Well, it doesn’t matter anymore because he has always been a perfectionist.
