While he seems to get more exposure from his sons Peyton Manning and Eli Manning, Archie Manning was the quarterback of the New Orleans Saints in the 1970s. During that time he was undoubtedly the most familiar face on a team that failed to produce a single winning season for it’s first 20 years of existence.
When he left in 1982 he held just about every passing record in the Saints franchise history. Of course, 30 years later, it’s Drew Brees that holds that distinction though Archie is still #2 in many categories – all be it a very distant second.
Here Archie is honored on card #297 of the 2019 Panini Prism series.
