WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. — Now at quarterback for the Giants: Elisha Manning?
After 12 seasons of being the only Eli in town — or at least the most recognizable one on the team’s roster — Manning joked that he may have to start going by his full first name to differentiate himself from first-round pick Eli Apple.
“Call me Elisha, maybe, and switch to my official first name,” he said Monday when asked about having to share the tag at an appearance to support Guiding Eyes for the Blind.
“I’ve never really cared about other peoples’ names,” Manning said.
