Class act by the Peyton. A perfect way to remember DT, a player who did a lot to give back to the community in his own right

Excellent. Sounded like Peyton and Brady were really upset when Demaryius passed away. Sounds like he was a great guy. Sad.

A bit more information. Says a lot about Demaryius AND the Manning family.
"“Demaryius Thomas was an incredibly talented and unselfish teammate, but more importantly, he was a special person and friend,” Manning said in a statement. “My family and I miss him dearly, and we wanted to honor D.T.’s memory by partnering the PeyBack Foundation with Georgia Tech to establish the Demaryius A. Thomas Scholarship Endowment."

"Further, the athletic department has designated Aug. 8 (8/8) as Demaryius Thomas Day and will annually commemorate the day by participating in a community-service event with a youth-oriented organization and inviting a former teammate, friend or family member of Thomas’ to speak with the football team."

Demaryius Thomas honored with scholarship endowed by Peyton Manning foundation
Scholarships, endowed by the PeyBack Foundation led by Peyton Manning and his wife, Ashley, can be full or partial grants. They will follow recipients through graduation at Tech provided they remain in good academic standing. One will honor Georgia Tech legend Demaryius Thomas.
