Eli Manning made a name for himself on the football field. So did his father, Archie, and his brother Peyton Manning.
The Mannings are a football dynasty, with Eli’s nephew Arch gearing up for a collegiate career in football. Apart from all of them, Manning offered the first look at the family’s latest sports superstar, and she isn’t even 10 just yet.
Eli Manning’s daughter Caroline has taken up a different sport. But she is already showing that she can become the next big thing in the Manning family.

Eli Manning broadcasts Caroline’s big achievement
Caroline, the daughter of two-time Super Bowl champion QB Eli Manning, has taken up Ice Hockey as a sport of her choice. And she just scored her first goal in rink at the age of seven.
Her proud father shared the video with the NFL world. And she wore a number 10 jersey for it. This is the exact same number her father wore while dominating in the NFL.
First Goalllllllllllll for Caroline! pic.twitter.com/3pcygxYq1i

Manning had also shared the photo from her first hockey practice a few months ago, where he had forgotten to bring Caroline’s helmet.
“First hockey practice of the year. Dad forgot the helmet, so she is going old school. Just joking, Mom is bringing it to her,” Eli tweeted back in September last year.

Mannings continue to produce sports superstars to this day. And they are branching out to other sports after decades of football dominance. It would be interesting to see which sport the former New York Giants QB’s other three children take up. But the NFL world is sending their love to the girl of the hour.
The NFL world in awe
The NFL world is already in awe of the newest sports star from the Manning family, even though she is not playing football. Many fans sent her best wishes while others complimented her hockey skills at this tender age.
This fan complimented Caroline’s instincts to follow the rebound.
