Eli Manning Shrugs Off Second Hall of Fame Snub

The two-time Super Bowl MVP told Jon Gruden the wait “doesn’t keep me up at night.”

Overview

  • Eli Manning was not elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in his second year of eligibility.
  • In a conversation with Jon Gruden, he said he is not bitter and prefers to remember teammates, wins, and other positives from his career.
  • His résumé features two Super Bowl MVPs, top-10 career passing totals at retirement, and 210 consecutive starts, the third-most by a quarterback.
  • Coverage cites drawbacks that may be holding him back, including three seasons leading the league in interceptions, a 60.3% completion rate, and a 117-117 regular-season record.
  • He also weighed in on the broader debate over voting subjectivity, suggesting Bill Belichick’s strained media relations may have influenced the coach’s first-year omission.
