Midge Purce is used to standing out. From her appearance on Broadway in Chicago earlier this year, to her MVP accolade in the 2023 National Women’s Soccer League championship, it’s hard to find something she can’t do. On Monday, Dec. 1, Purce will become the first professional footballer, male or female, to appear on ManningCast.
“I’m definitely honored and flattered, for sure,” Purce tells Sports Illustrated. “I think it’s going to be really fun, and it’s always fun making fun of Eli when he comes around the [Gotham training] facility, but to do it with Peyton will be just another blessing.”
