Eli Manning was able to carve out a successful career in the NFL with the New York Giants. But his time in college at Ole Miss also deserves to be celebrated. According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Ole Miss is retiring Manning's No. 10 jersey during the upcoming season.

By having his jersey retired in 2020, Eli will become the third player to have his number retired at Ole Miss. The only two players besides Eli to receive the honors include his father Archie and Chucky Mullins.

Back in 2000, Eli began his collegiate career at Ole Miss after attending Isidore Newman high school in Louisiana. Similar to most college quarterbacks, Eli wouldn't start in his freshman season in college.

However, Eli would burst onto the scene in his sophomore season, throwing for 2,948 yards, 31 touchdowns, and nine interceptions. Then, as a junior, the youngest Manning brother would proceed to amass 3,401 yards, 21 touchdowns, and 15 interceptions.

Lastly, to cap off his time at Ole Miss, Manning would contribute 3,600 yards, 29 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions in his senior year in 2003. As a result of his efforts, he would also finish third in Heisman voting in 2003. Not to mention, he led Ole Miss to two Bowl appearances in his final two seasons.

After leaving Ole Miss, Eli would be drafted by the San Diego Chargers, only to be traded to the Giants shortly after. With New York, Eli put together an impressive resume, winning two Super Bowls in his 16 seasons with the Giants.

When Eli decided to retire earlier this offseason, the Giants announced that no one will wear No. 10 again. Now, after his NFL career has come to a close, Ole Miss is also rewarding him for his time with the program.
