Later on in the show, Peyton discussed this with his brother, Eli Manning. The former QB had mixed reactions to McDaniel’s excitement to chat because he also misspelled his name. He read out the whole text to his brother, and Eli joked that McDaniel might have thought that the text was from someone else like Walter Payton or Sean Payton.
Peyton Manning found it amusing that the Dolphins HC was thrilled to talk to him but was a bit confused if McDaniel knew he was talking to Peyton Manning despite getting the name wrong. It was a light and funny moment and they laughed about it during the show.
