BLOOMINGTON, Minn. (CBSNewYork) — Eli Manning doesn’t exactly sound thrilled about the possibility of mentoring a rookie quarterback who’s a threat to his starting job, but he says he wouldn’t give him a cold shoulder, either.
“It’s not your job to mentor somebody,” the Giants quarterback told reporters Friday at the Mall of America. “I wouldn’t look at it as that role. I would look at it as it’s my job to prepare and compete and be ready to play each and every game. In that process, you are always talking football, always helping out the other guys in the room.
