Manning's body is an already-mature 6foot-5-inch, 230 pounds. He doesn't need to grow into the position like a Young or Marino did. Then look at his experience level. Manning considered turning pre last season, but decided against it. He opted to remain at the University of Tennessee and give the Heisman Trophy and a national championship one last run. So Manning spent four years in one of the toughest football confer ences in the land.
