Peyton Manning wants to see Ravens kicker Justin Tucker join him and Eli Manning on ESPN’s Monday Night Football Manningcast. During this week’s Manningcast between the Browns and Bengals, Peyton revealed that he considers Tucker his “dream guest,” inviting him to join the brothers this season.

“Eli, you wanted President (Barack) Obama as a guest on your show,” Peyton began. “I want Justin Tucker to be a guest on this show. Shoutout to refs tonight. Shoutout to kickers.”

But Peyton Manning didn’t stop there, saying he not only wants Justin Tucker to be a guest, but he wants him for next week when the Ravens play New Orleans. Peyton and Eli have hosted current NFL players such as Saquon Barkley and Jalen Hurts already this season, but have yet to interview anyone playing in the game they are commentating on.

That would be a first for the Manningcast, but Peyton believes it would also make for one of the more interesting guest appearances all season.

“I just want to be clear that I said I want Justin Tucker as a guest, but I want him next week during the game,” he said. “We have Ravens-Saints next week. I want him like a manager in baseball. I want to interview him during the game. He can talk to us, go in there and make 60-yarders. That’s not hard for him. It’s a first. Here on ESPN2, groundbreaking. I know we’re the B-team, but we can do things like that that are different. So, Tucker, let us know.”

A Texas alumnus, Tucker is in his 11th NFL season, all of which have come in Baltimore. So far he has been named to five Pro Bowls and won a Super Bowl with the Ravens in 2012. Last season he led the NFL in field goal percentage (94.6%) and so far is off to a great start this year making 16 of his 18 attempts (88.9%).

Football fans will want to stay tuned to next week’s Manningcast next week to see if Justin Tucker takes Peyton Manning up on the offer to be an in-game guest.
