Elisha Nelson Manning IV (born January 3, 1981) is a former American football quarterback who played his entire 16-year career for the New York Giants of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football at the University of Mississippi from 2000 to 2003. He was drafted as the first overall pick in the 2004 NFL Draft by the San Diego Chargers and was immediately traded to the Giants who in return gave up a package, highlighted by fourth overall selection Philip Rivers. Manning is the son of former NFL quarterback Archie Manning and the younger brother of former NFL quarterback Peyton Manning.

Manning holds Giants franchise records for most passing yards, touchdown passes, and completed passes in a career. In 2012, in a 41–34 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, he threw for 510 yards, three yards short of Phil Simms‘ franchise record of 513.

Manning showed durability throughout his career. He started 210 straight games from 2004 to 2017, the third-longest consecutive starts streak by a quarterback in NFL history, and never missed a game due to an injury. He is the seventh all-time leader in passing yards and eighth in touchdowns. Though lacking his brother’s regular season consistency and high-caliber performances, Manning is known for his two improbable Super Bowl-winning postseason runs in 2007 and 2011, in which he led underdog Giants squads to Super Bowl victories against the New England Patriots in Super Bowls XLII and XLVI. Manning was named Most Valuable Player in both Super Bowls, becoming one of five players to have multiple Super Bowl MVP awards (Bart Starr and Terry Bradshaw also have two, Joe Montana – three, and Tom Brady – four).
