The Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 2025 was announced on Thursday night during the NFL Honors, and Eli Manning did not have his name called.
When the Pro Football Hall of Fame announced its Class of 2025 at the NFL Honors on Thursday night, the two-time Super Bowl MVP was among those who, unfortunately, didn’t get the call.
The first-time finalist in his first year of eligibility won two Super Bowls and was a four-time Pro Bowler.
Despite the disappointment, Eli Manning showed nothing but class as he spoke with NFL Network’s Jamie Erdahl on Friday’s edition of Good Morning Football to talk about not getting in on the first go-around.
“I had a feeling it wasn’t going to be my night, and I understand that,” Manning explained. “I’m totally at peace. It’s not gonna change my outlook on my career and how I feel about it.”
Does Eli Manning Have The Numbers And Accolades To Get Into The Hall of Fame?
The NFL announced its four-man class for the Pro Football Hall of Fame at Thursday’s NFL Honors ceremony, and former New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning was not among the four selected.
Manning was among the 15 semifinalists for the honor. Unfortunately, he failed to meet the 80% threshold required to earn enshrinement.
Manning won two Super Bowls against the New England Patriots and was named the MVP in both of those games.
Aside from that, he also had pedestrian numbers during his 16-year NFL career.
He holds the Giants’ franchise records for passing yards (57,023), touchdowns (366), and completions (4,895).
However, he also has 366 touchdowns and 244 interceptions.
