Eli Manning

Eli Manning was born into football royalty. His father, Archie Manning, was an All-American and an NFL star quarterback. His brother, Peyton, went on to become a household name as a college and professional quarterback. Eli had many challenges as he grew up in the shadows of his famous father and brother. Although he also turned into a football star—a No.1 NFL draft pick—as a quarterback, many critics doubted he could be successful. Then came his heroics in Super Bowl XLII as he led his team, the New York Giants, to one of the biggest upsets in the history of the championship game as his team defeated the seemingly unstoppable New England Patriots. Although he still faces the pressure of playing in the same profession as his superstar brother, Eli has won his own accolades due to his skill and leadership on the field. This brand-new biography delves into Manning's upbringing, his success in the NFL, and his leadership on and off the field.
