While Eli Manning's career may be on the decline, he has been able to put together one of the best resumes from the quarterback position we've seen in this current generation. As of right now, he might be a backup to the newcomer, Daniel Jones, but Eli is currently ranked amongst the top ten quarterbacks in history in passing touchdowns (362) and passing yards (56,537). The son of famed former NFL quarterback, Archie Manning, played his collegiate football at the University of Mississippi from 2000 to 2003 where he racked up over twenty individual honors including the 2004 SBC Cotton Bowl Classic MVP, 2003 SEC MVP, 2002 Independence Bowl MVP, and more.
After a collegiate Hall of Fame career with the Ole Miss Rebels, Eli Manning was drafted 1st overall in the 2004 NFL Draft by the San Diego Chargers. But after stating publicly he would not suit up for the California-based franchise, he was traded to the New York Giants for 4th overall pick Philip Rivers. Since then, Manning has played his entire sixteen-season NFL career with the Giants leading the team to two Super Bowl championships (XLII, XLVI) both games he was named Super Bowl MVP. Now, the 4x Pro Bowler is looking to regain the juice that allowed him to become one of the NFL's elite quarterbacks, but at 38-years-old is it too late for Eli Manning to add to his legacy?
