BYU quarterback factory featured on Eli’s Places on ESPN+

Former New York Giants quarterback and Ole Miss All-American, Eli Manning made a visit to Provo back in mid-June and received an in-depth look at BYU’s rich football quarterback tradition from two Cougar Legends, Jim McMahon and Ty Detmer. 

The two-time Super Bowl Champion and Super Bowl MVP spent a day in Provo recording an episode of “Eli’s Places,” which airs on ESPN+ beginning Wednesday, Sept. 6.

Manning’s visit to Provo centered around the legendary quarterbacks that came through the BYU quarterback factory and included one-on-one, in-depth interviews with Consensus All-American quarterbacks McMahon at LaVell Edwards Stadium and Detmer high above Provo on Y Mountain. 

The show was produced by Omaha Productions, a media company owned by Peyton Manning, Eli’s brother. NFL Films oversaw the production of the episode, which runs about 20 minutes.

To see the full show, tune into Eli’s Places on ESPN+ or Hulu and look for episode 5.
