Cooper Manning: Growing Up Manning

  • Summary

  • What’s it like to grow up as the eldest Manning brother in a family of football legends? Cooper Manning joins Southern Character to catch up with high school pal and host, James Lewis, to share colorful stories of growing up in New Orleans with his father, Archie, and brothers, Peyton and Eli. From hilarious memories of his intense basketball coach, Coach Fitz, to afternoons in the Saints locker room with his dad, Cooper offers a unique glimpse into his childhood filled with sports and family traditions.

    Cooper also reveals how a life-changing diagnosis ended his football career at Ole Miss and forced him to pivot toward new passions, including broadcast journalism and entrepreneurial success with AJ Capital Partners. Along the way, he reflects on raising his own children—May, Arch, and Heid—and watching them carry on the Manning tradition in their own way. This episode is packed with humor, resilience, and the true life stories that make Cooper Manning one of a kind. Don’t miss it!
