Manning of football (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eli

'manning of football' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for eli that I've seen before include "Religious character" , "- Wallach, US actor" , "Shiloh priest (Bible)" , "High priest in the Book of Samuel" , "Priest, teacher of Samuel" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times and the Newsday.
