Eli Manning was obviously snubbed by missing out on the Pro Football Hall of Fame class of 2025, but the former New York Giants great is taking it well.
In fact, he had a really classy reaction to missing out on a very talented class who will be getting yellow jackets later this year.
“I was happy for the guys that got in. I competed against Jared Allen, I sent him a text, I feel like I kind of got him in because he sacked me so many times, I helped his resume,” Manning told PFT Live. “Antonio Gates, when I was coming out, thinking about going to the Chargers, doing workouts with them, they were telling me ‘We’ve got this guy on the practice squad who didn’t play college football but he’s going to be a superstar, Hall of Famer,’ and I was like, Yeah, right. So happy for him.”
Manning is among the big names eligible for next year’s class.
