Manning would easily be the most athletic safety the Texans have ever had, which is kind of like calling somebody the world's tallest midget, but he is a great athlete. He was highly recruited out of high school and signed with Nebraska but never played there due to academic isssues so he ended up at Abilene Christian. He's good in enough in coverage that he's played some nickelback for the Bears -- definitely not a box safety. The biggest knock that I've seen on him is that he's been known to have some mental lapses.
