In 1994, Manning joined the University of Tennessee and became a regular starter for his college side. Later, the quarterback joined the Colts in 1998; he was the number-one pick for the Colts in the first round.
Manning played for the franchise from 1998 to 2011 and moved to Broncos in 2012. With both franchises, he won a Super Bowl and was also crowned the Super Bowl MVP XLI.

Nearly ten years later of marriage, Manning and Ashley were blessed with twins. In 2011, Ashley and Manning became parents of beautiful twins Marshall Williams and Mosely Thomson.

Two years earlier, Manning reported in an interview that his son and daughter had begun playing football and were very fond of the sport. Unfortunately, none of his kids are his fans, as his son likes Patrick Mahomes, and his daughter likes Stefon Diggs.
