When it comes to Eli Manning, you better be accurate.

“Everybody who ever worked with me knows I always referenced (Johnny) Unitas when it came to quarterbacks,” Accorsi said. “In the end, you evaluate quarterbacks on whether or not they can take their team down the field and into the end zone when there’s a championship on the line.”

So there was Accorsi with his family at University of Phoenix Stadium four years ago, having retired the year before, but with so many of his Giants players in that Super Bowl against the Patriots, not just Eli. Sean Payton, who had been an offensive coordinator with the Giants, was sitting in the same general area. During a timeout before the Giants’ last drive, Payton went over to Accorsi and said, “You know Ernie, somebody told me once that you measure your quarterback by whether or not he takes them down the field in a moment like this.”

Here’s a little known tidbit from that draft: The Browns, who were picking seventh, wanted to swap spots with the Giants. Accorsi said no, because he was afraid if he traded down, the Browns then would have made the deal with San Diego for Manning. Cleveland then gave up a second-round pick to move up one spot so it could draft tight end Kellen Winslow Jr. The Browns would have had to give up at least a second-round pick to the Giants to move up to No. 4.
