The No. 1 overall pick in 2004, Manning played 16 seasons in the NFL with the New York Giants. He played 236 regular-season games (234 starts) with the Giants, who acquired the Ole Miss product in a draft-day trade with the the Chargers for No. 4 pick Philip Rivers, and threw for just over 57,000 yards. Manning beat the Patriots in Super Bowls XLII -- New England was 18-0 -- and XLVI with fourth-quarter drives to take the lead.
