Peyton

Peyton, Eli, and Archie Manning are one of the most famous NFL families of all time. Peyton and Eli each have 2 Super Bowl championships, while their father, Archie, was a Pro Bowl quarterback for the Saints. Peyton played with the Colts from 1998 to 2011, and with the Broncos from 2012 until his retirement after the 2015 season, which cumulated in a Broncos victory over the Panthers in Super Bowl 50. Peyton also won another Super Bowl against the Bears, back when he played for Indianapolis. Eli was the #1 draft pick of 2004, chosen by the San Diego Chargers, but was traded to the Giants almost immediately. Eli has won 2 Super Bowls, both against Tom Brady and the Patriots(yet another reason he is worthy of Canton), and retired after the 2019 season. Archie played with the New Orleans Saints from 1971 to 1981, followed by the Houston Oilers(now the Tennessee Titans) from 1982 to 1983, and the Minnesota Vikings from 1983 to 1984. He is considered by many New Orleanians as the best quarterback the Saints ever had before Drew Brees.
