Former Giants quarterback and two-time Super Bowl champion Eli Manning is among the many group of first-time nominees for the Pro Football Hall of Fame class of 2025.
Manning led the Giants to Super Bowl titles in 2008 and 2012, each of which got here against Tom Brady and the Patriots.
The Giants great was named MVP for each of those Super Bowls.

He was one in all 167 modern-era candidates that were announced on Wednesday by the Hall of Fame and that number will likely be weeded all the way down to 50 players next month by a screening committee.
The nominees get cut all the way down to 25 after which all the way down to 15 ahead of the Super Bowl.
As a way to be voted into the Hall of Fame, a player must get 80 percent of the votes and in keeping with the Hall’s bylaws, three to 5 players from the fashionable era candidates can get in.
Manning had been a first-overall pick by the Chargers and was traded to the Giants without ever playing a single snap with the then-San Diego franchise.
He earned 4 Pro Bowl nods throughout the course of his NFL profession and finished with 57,023 yards passing and 366 touchdowns.
Manning never led the NFL in any major statistical category during a single season and was never named an All-Pro.

He retired with a 117-117-0 record and ranks tenth all-time in passing yards and passing touchdowns.
He was twelfth in all-time in NFL history in game-winning drives.
Manning is joined by several other Giants greats who’re up for a bid to the Hall of Fame within the 2025 class.
Running back Tiki Barber, tight end Jeremy Shockey, guard Chris Snee, defensive end Justin Tuck, linebacker Jessie Armstead, and punters Jeff Feagles and Sean Landeta join Manning on the ballot.
If chosen, Manning would join his brother, NFL legend Peyton Manning within the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
