Elisha Archibald Manning III (born May 19, 1949) is an American former professional football player who was a quarterback in the National Football League (NFL) for 14 seasons, primarily with the New Orleans Saints from 1971 to 1982. He also had brief stints with the Houston Oilers and the Minnesota Vikings. He played college football for the Ole Miss Rebels and was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1989. Manning is the patriarch of the Manning football dynasty, having preceded sons Peyton and Eli as a successful NFL quarterback.
Early life
Born in Drew, Mississippi, Manning is the son of Jane Elizabeth (née Nelson) and Elisha Archibald Manning Jr. He grew up heavily involved in football, basketball, baseball, and track. His father, known as "Buddy", was interested in Archie's sports activities, but the nature of his job left him little if any time for attending games. Instead, Archie III drew his inspiration from a local high school sports star, James Hobson.{{Cite book |last1=Manning |first1=Archie |title=Manning |last2=Manning |first2=Peyton |last3=Underwood |first3=John |publisher=Harper Entertainment |year=2001 |isbn=0-06-102024-9}} His mother was "a ubiquitous presence at all of his games, no matter what the sport or level."{{Cite journal |last=Duncan |first=Jeff |date=Nov 2010 |title=Growing Up Manning |journal=Athlon Sports Monthly |volume=1 |issue=1}} Manning attended Drew High School.{{Cite news |last=Turner |first=Billy |date=January 26, 2009 |title=The hometown Archie once knew is no more |work=The Times-Picayune |url=http://www.nola.com/news/index.ssf/2008/01/the_hometown_archie_once_knew.html |url-status=live |access-date=March 30, 2012 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20121209141424/http://www.nola.com/news/index.ssf/2008/01/the_hometown_archie_once_knew.html |archive-date=December 9, 2012}} Manning was selected in the Major League Baseball draft four times, first in 1967 by the Braves, twice by the White Sox, and finally by the Royals in 1971.{{Cite web |title=MLB Amateur Draft Picks with the Name Matching: archie manning - Baseball-Reference.com |url=https://www.baseball-reference.com/draft/?query_type=name&name=archie+manning |website=Baseball-Reference.com}} In the summer of 1969, his father Buddy Manning, facing financial struggles and having suffered a stroke, died by suicide.

Professional career
Manning was the second overall pick in the 1971 NFL draft and played for the New Orleans Saints for ten full seasons.{{Cite web |title=1971 NFL Draft Listing |url=https://www.pro-football-reference.com/years/1971/draft.htm |access-date=2024-10-17 |website=Pro Football Reference |language=en}}{{Cite web |title=New Orleans Saints All-Time Alphabetical Roster |url=http://prod.static.saints.clubs.nfl.com/assets/docs/All-Time%20Roster%20Alpha.pdf |access-date=November 17, 2011}} During his tenure in New Orleans, the Saints had nine losing seasons.

Zimmerman wrote that opposing defensive linemen, "Jack Youngblood in particular" as well as most of the division rival Rams, were known to take it easy on the poorly protected Manning and not hit him as hard as they could.{{Cite magazine |date=March 30, 2007 |title=Applause for Jaws? |magazine=Sports Illustrated |agency=CNN |url=http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/writers/dr_z/03/29/jaws/2.html |url-status=dead |access-date=April 25, 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100317020921/http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/writers/dr_z/03/29/jaws/2.html |archive-date=March 17, 2010}}{{Cite magazine |date=April 27, 2004 |title=2004 Draft Report Card |magazine=Sports Illustrated |agency=CNN |url=http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2004/writers/dr_z/04/27/zim.draftgrades/index.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20040513063223/http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2004/writers/dr_z/04/27/zim.draftgrades/index.html |archive-date=May 13, 2004}} For his part, Manning seemed to appreciate Youngblood's kindness, telling the Los Angeles Times on September 23, 1974, "The Rams front four is the best I ever faced ... I've got to say that Youngblood was nice enough to pick me up every time he knocked my ass off." Today, Manning jokes that Youngblood's career would not have been as successful without him. He even stated that Youngblood should have let him be his presenter when he was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2001, saying, "He wouldn't have gotten in without having me to sack."{{Cite web |title=Memories from Pro Football's Greatest Era |url=http://www.thesuper70s.com/excerpt4.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081211115245/http://www.thesuper70s.com/excerpt4.html |archive-date=December 11, 2008 |access-date=March 30, 2012 |website=The Super '70s}}

In 1972, he led the league in pass attempts and completions and led the National Football Conference in passing yards, though the team's record was only 2–11–1.{{Cite web |title=1972 NFL Passing |url=https://www.pro-football-reference.com/years/1972/passing.htm |access-date=2024-09-19 |website=Pro Football Reference |language=en}} Manning sat out the entire 1976 season after corrective surgery on his right shoulder, spending the second half of that season in the team's radio booth after Dick Butkus abruptly quit his position as color commentator. In 1978, he was named the NFC Player of the Year by UPI after leading the Saints to a 7–9 record. That same year, Archie was also named All-NFC by both the UPI and The Sporting News.{{Cite web |title=1978 NFL All-Pros |url=https://www.pro-football-reference.com/years/1978/allpro.htm |access-date=2024-09-19 |website=Pro Football Reference |language=en}}

Indeed, he is one of the few players to have played 10 or more years in the NFL without taking part in an official playoff game.
The Saints have not reissued Manning's No. 8 since he left the team midway through the 1982 season.{{Cite web |title=All Players To Wear Number 8 For New Orleans Saints |url=https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/uniform.cgi?number=8&team=nor |access-date=January 18, 2017 |website=Pro Football Reference}} While it has not been formally retired, it has long been understood that no Saint will ever wear it again.
