Eli Manning Research Paper

The Eli Manning Children’s Clinic: a foundation that has raised over $3 million and every single penny goes towards making children’s clinics. The guy behind the whole charity is Eli Manning. Eli Manning made a foundation that continuously is making children’s clinics around the country to help sick kids. Eli does more than just making a multi-million dollar foundation; he once was a kid, and he was influenced by his brother and father. On top of that Eli Manning is a Super Bowl winning quarterback for the New York Giant, but before that he was just a kid living in Louisiana growing up with his family. Eli Manning’s childhood definitely affected his later life choices. Eli was born in New Orleans, LA on January 3, 1981 When growing up he lived with his Mom, Dad, and his two brother. Eli’s father was Archie Manning who was the New Orleans Saints quarterback, since he was the quarterback he wasn’t home very often with Eli. Peyton and Cooper are Eli’s two older brothers they both would play football with Eli growing up. When Eli would play football as a kid his nickname would be “Easy”, since he never would get
caught up in the pressure. When he was 18 he had a very hard decision it was either to go to Ole’ Miss like his father, and his brother Cooper, or tennesse like his other brother Peyton. Eli ended up going with Ole’ Miss like Cooper, and his dad. Eli’s childhood was nothing extraordinary, but it did mold him into what he is now.
Certain people in Eli’s life made him to how he is today. Archie Eli’s father went to Ole’ Miss, and that encouraged Eli to also go to Ole’ Miss. Eli was originally drafted number one from the chargers, but word got out that Eli was refusing to play for the chargers. Also according to CBS Sports Archie was the one that told Eli not to play for the chargers. Since Eli would not play for the chargers they traded Eli to the Giants, and that is where he still currently plays. Peyton also influenced Eli quite a bit, since Peyton also was a first round pick by the Indianapolis Colts, so he knew his way around football. Also when Peyton played a team before Eli he would help Eli, and tell him how they won, or lost the game. Growing up Peyton was the closest one to Eli’s age, and he was very protective over him. Also Peyton, and Archie both showed Eli their passion for football even though both of them didn’t force the game on him. Eli wouldn’t be Eli without Peyton, and Archie.
Eli doesn’t just have responsibility on the field he brings it off the field as well.
Eli just won the 2017 Walter Payton Man of the Year award which according to the NFL is given to a player that shows significant positive impact on their community off the field. When Eli learned that there were little to none children’s clinics in the state of louisiana which was Eli’s home state. Eli was very disappointed ,so he made a charity called “The Eli Manning Children’s clinics.” His charity makes children’s clinics all over the United States. Not only does he make his own charity he also supports other charities. Eli Manning participated the “BTIG Charity Day”Also before Hurricane Sandy hit New York Eli helped the “American Red Cross” get prepared for it. Eli Manning is one of the few football players that serve responsibility in the game, and in real
life.
