NFL: Top 15 All-Time Passing Yard Leaders Still Playing

1. Peyton Manning - 69,691

He's going to do it, he's surely going to do it. Barring any form of major injury in the first few weeks of the 2015 season, Peyton Manning will banish his demons from the past two off-seasons and smash Brett Favre's all-time passing yards record. Over the last five seasons, Manning has averaged 4,813 yards, and although that might be an ambitious target, it would mean that he could break the record during Week 8 if he's on form. Whether he does set the regular season in the same way as he has done since 1998, there's no doubt he can rack up the 2,147 yards required. He may not have it in him to silence Brady and Luck when it comes to January, but it's hard to imagine a world where Peyton doesn't give a QB masterclass during the 16-game season.
