Book Archie Manning Appearances & Speaking Engagements

Archie Manning played quarterback in the National Football League for 13 years, most notably for the New Orleans Saints (1971-1982) but also the Houston Oilers (1982-1983)) and Minnesota Vikings (1983-1984). He was a two-time Pro Bowl selection and is a member of the Saints Ring of Honor and Hall of Fame. Manning was picked by the Saints out of Ole Miss with the 2nd overall selection in the 1971 draft.

He was a two-time All-SEC pick and was the recipient of the Walter Camp Memorial Trophy. In 1969 and 1970, Manning finished fourth and third in Heisman Trophy balloting, respectively. Manning’s jersey #18 was retired by the school and he became a member of the College Football Hall of Fame in 1989. Manning was born in Drew, Mississippi on May 19, 1949. He was named the Most Popular Athlete of the Century in the state of Mississippi, and in 1992, was voted as the sate’s greatest all-time athlete.

Manning’s contributions are as significant off the field as they were on it. Besides serving as the patriarch of the “first family of football” and the father of NFL greats Peyton and Eli, Manning has been very involved in community and philanthropic causes and has lent his support to Louisiana Special Olympics, Salvation Army, New Orleans Area Boy Scout Council, United Way, New Orleans Sports Foundation and the Allstate Sugar Bowl Committee. He has also served with the National Football Foundation as Chairman of the Board. For his contributions, Manning has been honored with many accolades, including…

In 2013, Town & Country named the Manning family as the second most inspiring in the United States. In honor of the family’s accomplishments in college football, the Sugar Bowl has presented since 2004 the Manning Award to the country’s top quarterback in college. Manning authored with Peyton a book titled “Manning: A Father, His Sons and a Football Legacy”.
