The '''Manning Award''' has been presented annually since the [[2004 NCAA Division I-A football season|2004 football season]] to the [[college football|collegiate]] [[American football]] [[quarterback]] as judged by the [[Sugar Bowl|Sugar Bowl Committee]] to be the best in the [[National Collegiate Athletic Association|United States]]. It is the only quarterback award that includes each candidate's postseason-bowl performance in its balloting.<ref name="award">[http://www.allstatesugarbowl.org/site26.php Manning Award] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090720010732/http://www.allstatesugarbowl.org/site26.php |date=2009-07-20 }}.

The award is [[eponym|named]] in honor of former [[Ole Miss Rebels football|University of Mississippi (Ole Miss)]] quarterback [[Archie Manning]] and his quarterback sons [[Peyton Manning|Peyton]] and [[Eli Manning|Eli]]. Archie was also the quarterback for the [[New Orleans Saints]], [[Houston Oilers]], and [[Minnesota Vikings]] of the [[National Football League]] (NFL). Peyton was a star quarterback at the [[Tennessee Volunteers football|University of Tennessee]] as well as with the [[Indianapolis Colts]] and [[Denver Broncos]] of the NFL. Eli was also a star quarterback at Ole Miss and was the quarterback of the NFL's [[New York Giants]]. Both Peyton and Eli were [[College Football All-America Team|All-America selection]]s during their college careers and both led their respective professional teams to 2 [[Super Bowl]] championships (Peyton with the Indianapolis Colts in [[Super Bowl XLI]] and with the Broncos in [[Super Bowl 50]], and Eli with the New York Giants in Super Bowls [[Super Bowl XLII|XLII]] and [[Super Bowl XLVI|XLVI]]). Both won the [[Super Bowl Most Valuable Player Award|Super Bowl MVP]] award, Eli twice. Archie was inducted into the [[College Football Hall of Fame]] in 1989.

Each of the award winners has gone on to be selected in the first round of the [[NFL draft]], except [[Colt McCoy]], who won the award following the 2009 season and was a third-round selection, and [[Stetson Bennett]], who went in the 4th round. [[Deshaun Watson]] is the only player to win the award twice, for the 2015 and 2016 seasons.
