Manning up to No. 2

BIG BOARD: Kiper's Top 25 senior NFL prospects | Oct. 24
Ole Miss quarterback Eli Manning has ascended to the No. 2 spot on my Big Board, right behind Texas wide receiver Roy Williams. Two new additions, UCLA defensive tackle Rodney Leslie and USC cornerback Will Poole, check in at Nos. 23 and 24.
