Cooper Manning is an American entrepreneur and television personality known as the eldest son of former professional football quarterback Archie Manning and the older brother of quarterbacks Peyton and Eli Manning. He hosts the television show "The Manning Hour" for Fox Sports and serves as principal and senior managing director of investor relations for AJ Capital Partners, a private real estate company specializing in hotels and resorts. Cooper was a highly ranked high school wide receiver and committed to the University of Mississippi but was forced to end his playing career due to a diagnosis of spinal stenosis, a narrowing of the spine that pinched his nerves. He later transitioned into broadcasting and business, carving out a successful career distinct from his younger brothers' football paths. His son Arch Manning is continuing the family's football legacy as a quarterback at the University of Texas.
