Peyton Manning returned to Knoxville this week for a fundraising golf outing for a local children's hospital as well as a visit to the Tennessee football facilities, drawing cameras everywhere he went. 

But perhaps the most memorable part of Manning's visit wasn't anything he did but rather something a young fan did. A.J. Cucksey, a 4-year-old patient at the children's hospital with an inoperable brain tumor, got a chance to meet Manning, and after a brief introduction, he belted out one of the greatest renditions of "Rocky Top" ever heard.
