Look out, the next great Manning quarterback might be on the way.
Marshall Manning, the son of five-time NFL MVP Peyton Manning, is 11 years old now and has been growing up on the sidelines of NFL games. He’s been coached by his dad — and some of Peyton’s former teammates — in flag football for several years now, and Marshall has developed quite the arm.
Marshall is in Las Vegas this week to attend the Pro Bowl Games. The AFC is being coached by Peyton while the NFC is being coached by Eli Manning (the brothers teamed up to film some funny commercials to promote the Pro Bowl).
Before the Pro Bowl’s flag football game on Sunday, Marshall showed off his arm by connecting with former Indianapolis Colts tight end Marcus Pollard, who was covered by ex-Baltimore Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis.
Check it out:
“That’s a good little arm now,” Lewis said after the pass.
Catching passes from a Manning is nothing new for Pollard, who totaled 34 touchdown receptions during his seven-year run with Peyton in Indy.
It looks like Marshall threw from about the 10-yard line to about the 20-yard line, which would be about a 20-yard pass on the Pro Bowl’s modified 50-yard field. Not bad for an 11-year-old kid.

And a strike from the AFC’s practice last night:
Marshall Manning must have a good football background with throws like these 🎯

Marshall’s older cousin, Arch (the son of Peyton and Eli’s brother, Cooper) just completed a record-breaking high school career at Isidore Newman in Louisiana and he’s now set to play college football for the University of Texas. The Manning’s football story might not be over just yet.
