On Wednesday, ESPN Media Zone pumped out a press release that will get die-hard sports fans excited. For the 2018-19 season, NFL legend Peyton Manning will be joining NBA icon Kobe Bryant on ESPN+'s Detail.

Detail — the ground-breaking sports analysis program from Academy Award winner Kobe Bryant and ESPN — is returning for an expanded second season, which will include teaming up with Peyton Manning, along with NFL Films, for an NFL edition of the show. In addition, Bryant will be returning later in the 2018-19 NBA season for a second series of shows focused on basketball and Detail will also add a forthcoming UFC edition.

Manning, working in collaboration with NFL Films and Granity Studios, will host, write and share his insights to the football-themed Detail, with NFL Films editing the shows into an eight-episode series – exclusively available on ESPN+. The two-time Super Bowl champion will select NFL games throughout the current season and break down the film.

Just like when Kobe was breaking down video of Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum or Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James in the postseason (James was still playing for the Cleveland Cavaliers at this time), Manning will use his football IQ to dissect plays and gameplans while giving his take on how that particular player or team can improve.

Manning, who retired in 2016, is a five-time NFL MVP and the NFL's all-time leader in various categories, including career touchdowns (539), career wins (200) and game-winning drives (56).

On adding Manning, Kobe would say “Peyton was my first call to be the NFL athlete due to his unrelenting preparation and study of his craft. The next generation of football players will learn first-hand how one of the greatest players of all time objectively breaks down a game. It’s the ultimate film session for anyone who wants to learn and improve.”

Peyton would have this to say:

“I’ve always enjoyed talking football with coaches, players and passionate fans, and that’s at the core of this show,” said Peyton Manning. “I’m honored to help expand Kobe’s Detail to a football audience.”

With two of the games all-time greats breaking down film on today's players, whether they're simply a starter or a potential superstar, the sports world should rejoice.
