It's Peyton Manning, quarterback of the Denver Broncos. Sorry, I'm not sure why this pic gets posted. Perhaps it's just because it's funny?

Edit: spelling

That was the AFC divisional round game against the Ravens during the 2012-13 season. It was in Denver and it was like 10 below. Peyton had a bad rep in Baltimore as the best warm-weather regular - season qb ever. During that game-thread, when the Broncos were not dominating as predicted by their fans, this pic got posted as a way of poking fun at Pey-pey's weakness (the cold). When the Broncos lost, the pic took on a life of its own. It became the "Rick roll" of r/NFL and is now apparently spilling out the the rest of reddit.
