Archie Manning says his high school freshman grandson is better than Peyton or Eli
High school football playing freshman Arch Manning is the son of Cooper Manning.
Eli Manning put together a Hall of Fame-worthy career while playing for the New York Giants, but before he turned pro, the two-time Super Bowl champion was a star quarterback at Ole Miss.
To honor Manning, Ole Miss will retire Manning’s No. 10 jersey this upcoming season, according to ESPN. Manning will become the third Ole Miss football player to have his jersey retired, joining his father Archie (No. 18) and Chucky Mullins (No. 38).
