Early life
Born in 1974, Manning was the first child of Archie Manning and Olivia Manning. He played football for Isidore Newman School as a wide receiver and had a breakout year his senior year of high school with his brother Peyton Manning throwing all of the passes.
Manning was a highly ranked prospect out of high school and ended up signing with University of Mississippi, Archie Manning's alma mater. When practices started in the summer before school, Manning felt some numbness in his fingers and toes, so he went to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota to be diagnosed. There he was told that he had spinal stenosis, a narrowing of the spine and pinching of the nerves, a condition usually seen in elderly people. Because a single hard tackle would have likely left him paralyzed for life, Manning accepted the diagnosis and immediately ended his playing career.
In honor of Cooper, Peyton donned his brother's jersey number, 18, when he began his professional career in the National Football League in 1998.
