“Getting my first Panini trading card is something I couldn’t have imagined growing up,” said Manning. “Working with Panini to have my first trading card benefit the larger community is special. Helping children live healthy and fulfilling lives is something that has always been important to my family,” added Manning.
He is the grandson of Archie Manning and nephew of Peyton and Eli Manning, all of whom had legendary careers as NFL quarterbacks.
