All defensive players in the NFL have dreams of taking out the other teams quarterback with a big hit. And why wouldn’t they? Quarterbacks get all the camera time and glamour that comes with the position. Maybe it is jealously, or maybe some players think qb’s get treated differently, but either way the defensive lineman especially want to kill the qb, not literally of course. So it is no surprise that someone came out of their mouth and said they can’t wait to hit Peyton Manning. What is surprising is who said it. Read about it after the jump.

When Peyton and Dwight Freeney were teammates with the Colts for 10 years, Freeney always had dreams of hitting Peyton in practice, but knew he never could, and it sounds like that frustrated him a little bit. “It would definitely be great to get after him,” Freeney said. “He’s a great competitor, I’m a great competitor. How many times have I envisioned hitting him during practice, when he had that 5-yard halo around him and you couldn’t go in that circle? Millions of times. So it would be fun to get after him a little bit”. Freeney did also say how he considers Peyton like family, so it is not out of dislike. Well he will get 2 chances this year since he signed a 2 year contract with Broncos division rival the San Diego Chargers. Good luck trying to hit Peyton though, he rarely ever gets hit because if there is no play to be made, he is usually smart enough to get rid of the ball quick.
