That 'C' on a player's jersey indicates the player is one of the captains of the team. Almost always in the NFL, a team's starting quarterback is one of the captains of the team.
The "C" is like the captain in hockey. There will be anywhere from one to four captains on a team. A team is allowed five captains with only four speaking, hence the four stars on a jersey. If a player has one star in yellow, he is one of four captains. Peyton Manning has three stars because he is the speaking captain with the other captain being on defense.
NFL teams are allowed to have 53 players on their roster.
