context_page_description: Elisha Nelson Manning IV is a former American football quarterback who played in the National Football League for 16 seasons with the New York Giants. After playing college football at the University of Mississippi, he was selected as the first overall pick in the 2004 NFL Draft by the San Diego Chargers and traded to the Giants during the draft. He is the youngest son of former NFL quarterback Archie Manning and younger brother of former NFL quarterback Peyton Manning.
  Although Manning struggled with consistency throughout much of his career, he is recognized for twice leading the Giants to underdog Super Bowl victories against the New England Patriots' dynasty in Super Bowl XLII and Super Bowl XLVI. The former, which saw the wild card Giants defeat a Patriots team that was the first to win all 16 regular season games, is regarded as one of the greatest sports upsets of all time. Manning was named Most Valuable Player in both games, making him one of five players to have multiple Super Bowl MVP awards.
  As the Giants' starting quarterback from 2004 to 2019, Manning holds franchise records for most passing yards, touchdown passes, and completed passes in a career.
