Manning played with Harrison Jr.’s father, Marvin Harrison Sr., when they were on the Indianapolis Colts together. From 1998 to 2008, Manning and Harrison Sr. were teammates and were considered one of the best quarterback-wide receiver duos of all time.

During their time in Indianapolis, the teammates combined for 114 touchdown passes and won Super Bowl XLI in 2007.
