The Super Bowl is quickly approaching, and with that comes the annual Pro Bowl festivities. The NFL‘s best players come together for a week’s worth of celebration and competition. It’s a star-studded affair with the likes of Peyton and Eli Manning manning the sidelines as head coaches for the respective conferences.
As the NFL’s stars of old come to coach and spend time with the stars of today, one may wonder just how many pro bowls the Manning brothers made before they were calling plays in this year’s action. Let’s take a closer look at Peyton and Eli’s Pro Bowl pedigree.
Manning Brothers’ Pro Bowl Appearances
Both Peyton and Eli are well-accomplished NFL quarterbacks. They are both Super Bowl champions and authors of some of the league’s greatest moments, with statistics and records to back up their body of work. But just how many Pro Bowls did each make during their playing days?
Peyton Manning
Peyton is widely viewed as one of the game’s greatest quarterbacks. He is known for his cerebral way of playing the game, accompanied by his audibles at the line and by his famous “Omaha” cadence. Peyton has been a part of a staggering 14 Pro Bowls in his 17-year career.
The two-time Super Bowl champion was very comfortable playing in this all-star exhibition game during his time, and it is just further evidence of his dominance that will soon lead him to be a Hall of Fame inductee.
The five-time league MVP and seven-time All-Pro selection is one of the most accomplished players the league has ever seen. Between his time with the Indianapolis Colts and the Denver Broncos, Manning left a mark on the NFL and the Pro Bowl during his playing days.
Eli Manning
While Eli has not been to nearly as many Pro Bowls as his big brother has, he still has been selected for the honor four times during his 16-year career.
Eli is best known for taking down the Patriots twice en route to winning his two Super Bowls and doing so with some of the most legendary moments the league has ever seen, such as the David Tyree helmet catch.
