Peyton and Eli Manning get asked this question just about every year at their acclaimed Manning Passing Academy at Nicholls State in Thibodaux.
"How do you deal with nerves as a quarterback? How do you stay calm in the biggest moments?"
The question could be posed by a high school sophomore, or by one of the college counselors poised to be the No. 1 overall pick in the next year's NFL Draft.
Eli walked into his first start as a freshman on Newman's junior varsity team against Belle Chasse on Sept. 14, 1995. Archie and Olivia Manning watched their youngest son fight through those first-time jitters, and Newman scratched out a 7-0 win.
