In 2009, there are no Mannings playing college football who are in Archie Mannings immediate family. Archie is retired from the NFL, Peyton and Eli are currently starting quarterbacks in the NFL, and Cooper Manning, Archies' oldest son, was an All-State High School receiver, until he was diagnosed with spinal stenosis, which effectively put an end to his football career. There are certainly hundreds of Mannings in college football today, but none of them are Archie Mannings son.
If we are only talking about Archie Manning's sons then he has only 2 sons playing in the NFL, Payton and Eli. If you want to know how many players with the last name Manning are in the NFL then you need to add 2 more, Danieal and Ricky.
