 Archie Manning was one of football greatest quarterbacks ever. For people
in Mississippi, the Manning family is legendary.  If his own career was not
enough, his sons have now made a place for themselves in college and
professional football.  Peyton with Tennessee and the Baltimore Colts and
Eli with the University of Mississippi and a future top professional draft
position in 2004.
Archie Manning was born as Elisha Archibald Manning III, on May 19, 1949, in Drew. He loved sports as a youth and excelled in all of them. The sport he had most passion for was
football, and his great talent sent him to college to play football at the University of Mississippi, 
While at  Ole Miss, Manning was named an All- American Quarterback. He is the only player to have his #18 jersey retired at Ole Miss. He still holds the Ole Miss record for total career 
touchdowns at 56. He also ran for 823 yards and threw for 4,753 and scored 14 touchdowns.
