The former Giants quarterback thinks drafting the team's rookie successor is a must, but not before they make this very important move.

Eli Manning bested Peyton again. He’s now 3-0 in the Pro Bowl and 1-0 in the Kick of Destiny. After winning, Manning said it was “well worth it,” referring to some soreness he experienced in practice. The younger brother outdid the older brother and will have bragging rights for however long he likes.

Manning isn’t the only member of those teams to get snubbed. Former Giants coach Tom Coughlin was among the finalists for the coach nominee in December but fell short to former Green Bay Packers and Seattle Seahawks head coach Mike Holmgren.

Eli Manning's credentials are Hall of Fame-worthy, but unfortunately, they weren't good enough for him to get into Canton in his first year of eligibility.

New York Giants legend Eli Manning may face an extended wait for his Hall of Fame enshrinement after being snubbed in 2025.

Poor Manning family. Bless their hearts. They seem to be on every commercial and every sports show, but Eli didn’t get elected to the Hall of Fame. Deion Sanders didn’t like it. The Giants fans cried blue tears. However, give Eli credit for his immediate reaction to the 2025 snub.

Three of the 15 modern-era finalists made the Class of 2025: cornerback Eric Allen, defensive end Jared Allen, and tight end Antonio Gates. (Wide receiver Sterling Sharpe, the fourth member of the class, was a senior candidate after previously not getting in as a modern-era candidate.)

To many New York Giants fans, retired quarterback Eli Manning should have been a slam-dunk first-ballot Hall of Famer. However, as is now known, not enough of the 40+ Hall of Fame voting committee members saw it that way.
