Two-time Super Bowl MVP quarterback Eli Manning and seven other former New York Giants are among 167 modern-era players nominated for the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s Class of 2025.
Manning, who ranks top 10 in career passing yards, completions and touchdown passes, is joined by seven other Giants legends on this year’s ballot: 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.
Manning retired after the 2019 season after 16 seasons with Big Blue and is one of 16 first-year nominees on this year’s ballot.

Manning is a two-time Super Bowl winner and MVP (XLII, XLVI), a four-time Pro Bowl selection, and the 2016 Walter Payton NFL Man of Year recipient.
Manning is enshrined in the Giants’ Ring of Honor and his No. 10 has been retired by the Giants.
Eli holds almost all of the Giants’ franchise passing records — both career and single-season — and played in a franchise record 236 games, including 222 consecutive starts, fourth-most by a quarterback in NFL history.
Manning also holds the records for the most passing yards in a single postseason (1,219 yards) and completions and attempts in a single postseason (103 completions and 163 attempts) both set in 2011.
