Exploring Archie Manning's decision to retire early from football to prioritize his relationship with his son Eli, and the importance of putting children first.

“For his whole career, Archie Manning had been a company man for the New Orleans Saints. He was great but the team was terrible. For years, they had lost. For years, he had endured poor offensive lines, poor drafting and never even coming close to contention. So you’d think it would have been a second wind for his career to be traded to Houston and then to the Vikings. He still had years left in him, a real shot of being part—finally—of a winning team. But instead, in 1984, he retired.”

Learn why Archie Manning made this decision and how it impacted his children on today’s Daily Dad podcast.
