As Hyams mentions, former Tennessee Volunteer quarterback Peyton Manning, along with his brothers Eli and Cooper, will be among those interviewed.
The documentary will chronicle the life of Archie Manning, the father of Cooper, Eli and Peyton
I’m sure the documentary will touch on Peyton’s surprising decision to choose to play at Tennessee, instead of Ole Miss, his father’s alma mater.
The decision shocked many, but was something Archie Manning was totally on board with, which is just a small example of the closeness and support that exudes from the Manning family.
