This is one opinion (247sports' opinion).
However, they failed to do ANY kind of research.
Manning had a better pro career than college.

He had one great year (and should have won Heisman), but there have been several players native to Louisiana who had just as good a career or approaching his accomplishments in COLLEGE:

i.e.
Kevin Faulk
Terry Bradshaw
Billy Cannon
Charlie Joiner
Steve Van Buren
Tommy Casanova
Jerry Stovall
Joe Ferguson
Bobby Duhon
Wendell Davis
Doc Fenton
Marshall Faulk
Odell Becckham Jr
Eli Manning
Bert Jones
Alan Faneca
Bobby Hebert
Matt Forte
Gaynell Tinsley
Abe Mickal
Kevin Mawae
Dalton Hilliard
Tommy Hodson
Tyrann Mathieu
Patrick Peterson
A.J. Duhe
Johnny Robinson
Roy Winston
Ronnie Estay
Tim Rattay
Willie Roaf
Troy Edwards
Roger Carr
Pat Tilley
Jeremy Hill
Eric Martin
