What sport do both Eli Manning and the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Award have in common?
Eli Manning Elisha Nelson Manning (born January 3, 1981) is an American football quarterback for the New York Giants of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football at the University of Mississippi. He was drafted as the first overall pick in the 2004 NFL Draft by the San Diego Chargers and was immediately traded to the Giants who in return gave up a package, highlighted by fourth overall selection Philip Rivers. He is the son of former NFL quarterback Archie Manning and the younger brother of former NFL quarterback Peyton Manning.
1997 Indianapolis Colts season The 1997 Indianapolis Colts season was the 45th season for the team in the National Football League and 14th in Indianapolis. The Indianapolis Colts finished the National Football League's 1997 season with a record of 3 wins and 13 losses, and finished fifth in the AFC East division. The Colts would start horribly, losing their first 10 games, their first 0-10 start since 1986, before an upset home win over eventual NFC Champion Green Bay. That would turn out to be the only good highlight all season for the Colts, as the team fell to a league-worst 3-13 record, and earned the first overall pick in the 1998 NFL Draft, in which they selected quarterback Peyton Manning in what would be the start of a dynasty for the Colts in years to come.
