Ole Miss is honoring Archie Manning with a statue outside their stadium — a fitting tribute to the legendary quarterback who dazzled from 1968-70 with over 4,000 passing yards and nearly 1,000 rushing yards, earning All-SEC honors twice and finishing third in Heisman voting. A Mississippi native and football icon, his legacy extends beyond stats: he became a Saints legend after being drafted second overall in 1971, made two Pro Bowls, and was enshrined in the College Football Hall of Fame. His family’s football dynasty continues — son Eli starred for Ole Miss, grandson Arch leads Texas — making this statue not just a nod to past glory, but a living symbol of the Manning legacy that still pulses through the Rebels community.
