Manning was the first and, as of Saturday night, the only quarterback to lead their team to two Super Bowls in different teams. He ended his career with two rings, but the statistical greatness went deep during that time of his retirement.
He was the No. 1 overall pick of the Indianapolis Colts in 1998, playing with them for 13 years before the franchise decided to move on after its neck fusion surgery. He played four more seasons with the Denver Broncos before calling it a career. He finished his career with 539 passing touchdowns, 71,940 passing yards, five MVPs, seven All-Pro selections and 14 Pro Bowls.

Woodson was the first.
The cornerback played 18 seasons in the NFL with the Oakland Raiders and Green Bay Packers. He won a Super Bowl ring with the Packers during the 2010 season – the only time he could get his hands on the hardware.

Johnson was a standout wide receiver with the Detroit Lions. He abruptly retired after the 2015 season. He led the NFL in receptions in 2012 and received yards in 2011 and 2012. He was a six-time Pro Bowler and three-time All-Pro. He had 731 catches for 11,619 yards and 83 touchdowns in 135 games for the Lions.

Pearson, the original # 88 on the Dallas Cowboys, finally got his call from the President of the Hall of Fame, David Baker. The wide receiver has had to wait a while, but will finally be captured in Canton this year.
Pearson played for eleven seasons with the Cowboys and won one Super Bowl with the team. He was also three times All-Pro and three times Pro Bowler. The New Jersey native finished his career with 489 receptions for 7,822 yards and 48 touchdowns.
