The Giants — which picked No. 4 — grabbed Rivers moments later, and then agreed to swap the quarterbacks in a deal that shaped the future of multiple NFL franchises. While both players put up excellent numbers over their careers, Manning led the Giants to two Super Bowl titles. Rivers never won a Super Bowl in his 18 years in the NFL.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Manning's trade from San Diego proved transformational, yielding two Super Bowl titles.

Eli Manning was acquired by the Giants in a 2004 trade with the San Diego Chargers (who had drafted him No. 1 overall) in exchange for Philip Rivers. Manning led the Giants to two Super Bowl titles during the 2007 and 2011 seasons, while Rivers never won a Super Bowl in his 18-year NFL career. Accorsi had followed Manning since his time at Ole Miss and was convinced he was the franchise quarterback the Giants needed.
