What do Dwight D. Eisenhower, Jackie Robinson, John Wayne and Archie Manning have in common? Come December 6, they all will be recipients of the National Football Foundation’s Gold Medal.
Manning is set to be honored as the 63rd Gold Medal Recipient at the National Football Foundation’s 59th annual awards dinner on December 6 in New York.
Manning, a former All-American quarterback at Ole Miss and a Pro Bowl player with the New Orleans Saints, is the latest in a long line of distinguished Gold Medal winners, the first of whom was Eisenhower in 1958.
