Manning: A Father, His Sons, and a Football Legacy Book Summary and Study Guide

Detailed plot synopsis reviews of Manning: A Father, His Sons, and a Football Legacy


    The Manning family is often referred to as "football's royal family" because three members of that family have played quarterback in the National Football League. Archie was a star quarterback at Ole Miss, and he was drafted second overall by the New Orleans Saints. His team never made it to the playoffs though. Archie finished his pro career with the Houston Oilers, who were even worse than the Saints. Archie's father committed suicide when Archie was 19 years old, and this obviously upset him.
