Father of the Stars: Interview With Saints Legend Archie Manning

Archie Manning is known for his 11 years as the New Orleans Saints starting quarterback. Manning played in two Pro Bowls as a Saint.

Archie was the lowest drafted NFL player Manning, he was drafted second overall. Peyton and Eli both, were drafted first in the NFL Draft.

You may remember Eli's controversial way of becoming a New York Giant, saying no to the Chargers who went on to draft Phillip Rivers instead of Manning. Many people still debate the pick. If you don't know Peyton, watch a Gatorade commercial and you'll know enough.
