VIDEO: Peyton Manning Caught Enjoying Pre-Mardi Gras Festivities in New Orleans

It doesn't matter what line of work you're in, where you're from, or what you believe: everyone can have a great time at Mardi Gras in New Orleans, which is set to kick off in earnest this Tuesday. Peyton Manning, who spent most of his childhood in New Orleans, seems to be a sucker for a good parade, as the five-time MVP and future Hall of Famer was caught amongst a crowd of partygoers participating in a classic New Orleans parade.

We might think of Manning as a native son of Mississippi, Tennessee, or Indianapolis, but he lives and breathes New Orleans culture.

He spent most of his childhood in New Orleans, as his father Archie was a legendary Saints quarterback who held most of the franchise passing records until Drew Brees came along.

The best part of this whole video is how Manning, a 14-time Pro Bowler with one of the most recognizable faces and voices in football history, is just hanging out in the crowd like a regular guy.

Mardi Gras really brings out the best in people, and Peyton is no different.
