Review

 * I will add more when the below is fixed. I do not want it to be overwhelming.
 * Since none of my suggestions were headed to and the nominator has barley edited the article, I am quick failing this. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 20:53, 14 March 2020 (UTC)

Early life

 * I suggest adding the information about his dad and brother in the early life section rather than personal life. Is there any way to expand on the information in early life? Instead of starting right at high school maybe expand a bit for his younger years.
 * While interviews are not preferred I think this is fine since the information is before the interview
 * Is there a better source than this one for his commitment? Maybe one that goes into more detail? Try List of online newspaper archives.

College career

 * Can the intro to the college career be expanded? What were the views of him coming in? Perhaps expand comment about marketing degree and GPA. Was he on the honour roll?
 * per this ref he was on the Dean's Honor Roll.


 * Move the fraternity to college career rather than personal life
 * Preferably a source that explicitly states stats than this one.
 * I suggest incorporating the awards into paragraphs to expand on his college career rather than list them
 * Second Team All-American needs a reference

2000 season

 * I think you can merge the first two sentence together. The sentence "Manning saw little playing time behind Miller" seems choppy by itself.

2001 season

 * Preferably a source that explicitly states stats his first game than a box score like this one. I am sure there are article out there that discuss this.
 * Most of the sources seem to be stats. If he had such a successful year there should be articles about it (rather than synthesizing sources).

2003 season

 * The sentence "He was invited to play in the 2004 Senior Bowl, but chose not to play" is not properly sourced. The reference does not mention the Senior Bowl.

Professional

 * This reference does not say he refused to play for the Chargers if drafted by them. It says "I made up my mind, I talked to my dad about it, talked to [agent] Tom Condon about it. We had this plan to kind of say, we’ll tell San Diego not to draft you and hopefully they won’t draft you." This sounds more like he wished they wouldn't draft him but not such strong language as used in the article. Please find a reference that explicitly states he would not play for them.
 * There is for sure a reference about his first contract being signed, one does not need to use this reference
 * Contract


 * Please find a reference for the trade that is not the reference above, such as this one.
