Eli Manning has dealt with almost every situation since the New York Giants made a blockbuster trade with the San Diego Chargers to acquire him on draft day 2004.
He’s had to deal with living up to the expectations of being Archie Manning’s son and Peyton Manning’s younger brother. He also had to deal with ridicule from many members of the media when, in the summer of 2011, he stated that he was an elite quarterback and deserves to be mentioned with Tom Brady. Eli would silence those critics months later when he defeated Brady in the Super Bowl for the second time in Super Bowl 46.
