College Football Hall of Fame inductions, three SEC player of the year awards, 20 cumulative
Pro Bowl selections, seven first-team
All-Pro selections, five

Archie's three sons have played football to varying degrees:
Cooper played football in high school as a wide receiver and committed to play at his father's alma mater of Ole Miss, but was forced to stop playing after being diagnosed with
spinal stenosis while still in high school.[6]
Eli played collegiately at Ole Miss and professionally for the
New York Giants, winning two Super Bowls (along with two Super Bowl MVPs), and is a four-time
Pro Bowl selection.[8]
