10:27 PM ET 12.06 | I did this blog because Coop gets no credit Cooper Manning Son of Archie and Olivia Age: 33 (2 years older than Peyton) Physical Attributes (back in football days): 6'4, 185 lbs, 4.7 40 yarder Family: Married to Ellen Heidingsfelder, and has 2 kids, Arch and May Football Background: Started out as a third string quarterback in high school but wanted more playing time, so he switched to wide receiver. In his senior year at Isadore Newman High, he caught 76 passes for 1,250 yards being thrown to by sophomore sensation Peyton. He was heavily recruited by Ole Miss, Virginia, and Texas. He started feeling numbness in his fingers and was diagnosed with spinal stenosis, required surgery, and had to quit football immediately. What he does now: He is now a successful guy. His job is trading oil and gas stocks for an energy firm by the name of Howard Weil, Labouisse and Freidrichs, Inc. He regularly chats with Peyton and Eli, and cheers for their teams.
