Giants great Phil Simms talks about how Eli Manning must be feeling now that he’s been replaced as the starter by Daniel Jones. As told to Steve Serby:
I have thought about Eli Manning today, just knowing what he’s going through, his family and himself. I know it’s very tough.
It’s a terrible day for him. For me, it happened during an offseason. For Eli, it’s happening during the season. So he’s going to be on the sidelines in practice and around all the time, and then also, he’s going to have to be ready to play and not get down — just because you know how NFL football is, with what we saw this past weekend (injuries to Ben Roethlisberger and Drew Brees).
