ABOUT MARIO MANNINGHAM:
Mario Manningham is a talented starting wide-out for New York, drafted out of Michigan. He has spent all four of his professional football years with his current team and recorded his best statistical year in 2010 when he caught 60 balls for a total of 944 yards combined with 9 touchdowns.
The most memorable moment of his career certainly came just a few weeks ago in the biggest game of them all when his team was on the twelve yard line with 3:46 left to play and down two. Eli Manning launched a perfectly placed ball down the sideline to the fading Manningham, the catch was caught as defenders closed in and all the while Manningham incredibly managed to keep both feet in bounds to complete a 38-yard reception. The champs finished the job when teammate Ahmad Bradshaw punched in a short TD run with roughly minute to go in the game.
ABOUT AHMAD BRADSHAW:
Ahmad Bradshaw was drafted by New York before the 2007 season out of Marshal University where in his final year there as a junior, he rushed for 1,523 yards and made the first-team All-Conference USA. Bradshaw has been a productive running back every year since he joined the squad and is one of the fortunate players to have now won two championship rings in the span of five years. Bradshaw’s touchdown with .57 seconds left to go in the big game on February 5th was the final go ahead score. Bradshaw has rushed for over 3,000 yards thus far in his professional career to go with 26 total touch downs.
ABOUT STEVE WEATHERFORD:
Steve Weatherford is the punter for the World Champions. His punting was crucial to the success of the team throughout the whole 2011-2012 season and playoffs, especially in the title game where he averaged 40.8 yards per punt. His punting also provided extremely good field position opportunities for his team throughout the game. Weatherford’s a product of the University of Illinois who went from an undrafted free agent in 2006 to one of the most efficient punters in the game and a world champion.
