Eli Manning, quarterback of the New York Giants, has improved his game each year since joining the team in 2004, building to a remarkable 2007 season that saw Big Blue earn a wild card spot in the NFL playoffs with a 11-5 record and shake off underdog status to defeat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Dallas Cowboys and Green Bay Packers in the playoffs. And, finally, on Feb. 3, 2008, Manning and the Giants shocked with the world with a 17-14 victory over the previously undefeated New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLII. With "ice in his veins," as one teammate put it, Manning went 19-34 with 255 and two clutch touchdowns, earning Super Bowl XLII MVP honors.
Peyton Manning, quarterback for the Indianapolis Colts, is already
statistically one of the greatest quarterbacks of all-time. Peyton
holds NFL records for consecutive seasons with over 4,000 yards passing
and most total seasons with 4,000 or more yards passing in a career.
The records just keep adding on for the 1st overall pick of the 1998
NFL Draft, who was named Super Bowl XLI MVP. Peyton is a 10x Pro Bowl,
and 4 times has been named the NFL MVP. In 2009, Fox Sports named
Peyton Manning the Player of The Decade.
