Eli Manning was drafted by the Chargers but went on to throw 366 touchdowns for the Giants. Philip Rivers was drafted by the Giants but went on to throw 397 passes for the Chargers.

Answer
Drew Brees (picked by Chargers, 491 TDs for New Orleans), Brett Favre (selected by Falcons, 442 touchdowns for the Pack) and John Elway (picked by Colts, 300 for Denver). Chargers play Giants this week, and that’s the tie-in.
