Mizell Minute 1/20
They are “the
royal family”
of quarterbacking …
The Mannings…
Archie and sons
Peyton and Eli…
Eli’s Giants were
NFL champs
in ‘07---they’re
now one step from
another Super Bowl…
In ‘08,
older brother Peyton
and his Colts won
a Super Bowl …
“What a family” …
Eli and Peyton’s
daddy---Archie---
was a superb Q.B---
but most of
his 14 NFL seasons
were with
“bad” New Orleans
Saints teams…
Archie is now 62…
“NO Manning” has
won a Heisman Trophy…
Archie was a hero at
Ole Miss—finishing
third in 1970
Heisman voting
behind Jim Plunkett
and Joe Theismann…
Peyton, at Tennessee---
ran second to
Charles Woodson
for the ’97 Heisman…
Peyton is 35 and
missed the entire
2011 season with a
neck injury…
Like his dad, Eli
played at Mississippi…
he ran THIRD
for the ’03 Heisman,
behind an
almost-forgotten
Oklahoma quarterback—
Jason White…
If Eli—now 31—
wins a second
Super Bowl---some
may suggest his
career surpasses
“big brother;s”…
Not me---I will
STILL say--Peyton is
“No. 1 son”…
I’m Hubert Mizell, and
that’s what I think.
