Here’s something you don’t see every day. Iconic New Orleans Saints quarterback Archie Manning will be presenting his son Peyton for enshrinement to the Pro Football Hall of Fame soon, but before that he got the honor of putting a gold jacket on his son’s shoulders. The “golden moment” was shared on social media ahead of the weekend’s festivities.
Manning’s relationship with his father runs deep — he described the decision to have his father introduce him as “just a no-brainer” in a statement through the Hall of Fame earlier this summer. Manning won two Super Bowls in his storied NFL career, and he might have had three titles to his credit had his dad’s old team not stolen his thunder in Super Bowl XLIV with an all-time clutch interception returned for a touchdown by defensive back Tracy Porter. Such a shame.
Because the 2020 centennial class’ induction was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, those new Hall of Famers will be enshrined first on Saturday, Aug. 7. Fans can tune in for the 2021 enshrinement ceremony featuring the Mannings on Sunday, Aug. 8, at 6 p.m. CT. Manning will enter the Hall of Fame alongside Alan Faneca, Tom Flores, Calvin Johnson, John Lynch, Bill Nunn, Drew Pearson and Charles Woodson.
