Prior to the NFL draft, Eli Manning said no, he would not be fixated on who the Giants would be selecting with the No. 2-overall pick. He would find out, of course, but would not be glued to the television to get the news as it happened.
That was not what transpired, though.
“I watched it,’’ Manning said Monday night at a Guiding Eyes for the Blind event at Mulino’s in White Plains. “The wife was very curious as to what was going to go on and obviously so was I.’’
No doubt, this decision affected Manning and his wife.
