Retired New York Giants QB Eli Manning joins Twitter

During Eli Manning‘s 16-year career with the New York Giants, he was off of social media. The beloved quarterback kept his focus on the field and it resulted in two Super Bowl MVPs.

But now that Manning is retired and he has a little more time on his hands, he’s finally taking the plunge into social media. Manning amassed nearly 40,000 followers during his first hour on Twitter. The quote and gif are obvious references to Jimmy Chitwood from “Hoosiers.”

The timing of Manning’s social media debut makes perfect sense.
