Early life
Jane Elizabeth (née Nelson) and Elisha Archibald Manning Jr. were both born in Drew, Mississippi. He grew up with football, basketball, baseball, and track. His father, "Buddy," was keen on Archie's sporting involvements, but his work schedule made him miss the opportunity to play games. Rather, Archie III drew his inspiration from James Hobson, a local high school sports celebrity. "Understand the sport or class, his mother was present at all of his games." Manning attended Drew High School. Manning was first selected in the Major League Baseball draft in 1967 by the Braves, twice by the White Sox, and then by the Royals in 1971. Buddy Manning, his father, died by suicide in the summer of 1969. Archie, who was home from college for the summer holidays, was the first to discover Buddy's body. Manning's book of Manning said he considered leaving school and finding a job to help his mother and sister, but his mother advised him not to return to college and not put his burgeoning football career in jeopardy.
College career
Manning played for the University of Mississippi in Oxford and was the starting quarterback at Ole Miss for three years. Manning threw 436 yards and three touchdowns in the first national prime time broadcast of a college football game (on ABC, October 4, 1969), as well as rushing for 104 yards in a 33–32 loss to Alabama.
Despite Manning's outstanding results, the remainder of the team was not up to date, and the Rebels had a record of just 15–7 in his first two years. He threw 4,753 yards and 31 touchdowns (despite 40 interceptions) and ran for 823 yards in his college career. In 1969, he scored 14 touchdowns. He was involved in both 1969 and 1970, and his No. was assigned to the All-SEC team. Ole Miss retired 18 jerseys. In 1969, Manning was named Mississippi Sportsman of the Year and recipient of the Nashville Banner Trophy as the Most Valuable Player in the Southeast Conference, in addition to winning the Walter Camp Memorial Trophy. He was fourth in 1969 and third in 1970 in the Heisman Trophy voting. He was also inducted into Omicron Delta Kappa in 1970 at Mississippi. Manning was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1989. Manning's legacy is commemorated on this day on the campus of Ole Miss, where the speed limit is 18 miles per hour in honor of Manning's jersey number. Manning, who lived in Ole Miss, was a member of Sigma Nu fraternity. Multiple publications have listed him as the Southeastern Conference Quarterback of the Quarter Century (1950-75).
NFL career
Manning was the second overall pick in the 1971 NFL Draft and spent ten seasons with the New Orleans Saints. The Saints had nine losing seasons during his tenure in New Orleans. They only made it to.500 once in 1979, the only season in which they finished higher than third in their division. Nonetheless, his NFL peers regarded him highly. For example, although he was fired 337 times during his Saints tenure, Sports Illustrated senior writer Paul Zimmerman argued in 2007 that the number should have been even higher than that. Zimmerman said that defensive linemen, particularly "Jack Youngblood," were expected to take it easy on Manning and not strike him as hard as they could. Manning appeared to love Youngblood for his part by telling the Los Angeles Times on September 23, 1974, "The Rams front four is the best I''ve ever seen." I've got to say that Youngblood was generous enough to pick me up every time he knocked my ass off." Manning jokes that Youngblood's career would not have been as fruitful without him. When he was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2001, he said, "He may not have gotten in without having me to sack."
He led the league in pass attempts and completions in 1972 and led the National Football Conference in passing yards, though the team's record was only 2–11–1. After Dick Butkus unexpectedly resigned from his position as a color commentator, Archie sat out the entire 1976 season after corrective surgery on his right shoulder. After leading the Saints to a 7–9 record, he was named NFC Player of the Year by UPI in 1978. Both the UPI and The Sporting News also named Archie All-NFC that year.
Manning was nominated to the Pro Bowl in 1978 and 1979. He played for the Houston Oilers (1982–1983) and the Minnesota Vikings (1983–1984). He completed 2,011 of 3,642 passes for 23,911 yards, 125 touchdowns, and 173 interceptions in his 13-year career. He also ran for 2,197 yards and 18 touchdowns. On his retirement, his 2,011 completions ranked 17th in NFL history. His record as a starter was 35–101–3 (26.3%), the lowest in NFL history among QBs with at least 100 starts. He did not play on a team that had no wins or made the playoffs, nor had he been on one that won or lost. In fact, he is one of the few NFL players to play ten or more years without being involved in a formal playoff game.
Manning's No. has not been reissued by the Saints. Since leaving the team midway through the 1982 season, he has been on the 8 since 1983.
Post-NFL career
Manning continues to live in New Orleans, though he also owns a condo in Oxford, Mississippi, where he migrated following Hurricane Katrina. He has worked as an analyst with the Saints' radio and television broadcasts, as well as as a commentator for CBS Sports' college football broadcasts. Archie has also appeared in Southeast Louisiana as a commercial spokesman for goods, where he is still popular with many fans. Cooper, Peyton, and Eli are three of his three sons, as well as Eli, Archie, is the Manning Passing Academy. Young players from grades 8-12 who work with high school coaches and college players will be mixed in this camp. The Boy Scouts of America awarded Manning the Silver Buffalo Award in 2007. The Silver Buffalo is the highest national award for Service to Youth.
Manning was recruited as a spokesperson for the United Parcel Service contest in 2007 to advertise its "Delivery Intercept" service. He appeared in a paid commercial for the UPS Intercept Challenge Video Contest, which featured amateur footage of football interceptions from high school and youth games. A tailgate party with Manning as well as Manning-autographed footballs were among the prizes.
Manning was chosen one of the 13 inaugural members of The College Football Playoff Selection Committee in October 2013. He is one of three inductees into the College Football Hall of Fame.
He resigned from the College Football Playoff Committee in 2014 due to health reasons.
