When Eli Manning reaches his first year of Hall of Fame eligibility, the longtime New York Giants quarterback might be a polarizing candidate. Former teammate Tiki Barber thinks it should be an open-and-shut case, however.
During an appearance on Scoop B Radio (h/t Dan Benton of Giants Wire), Barber argued why Manning will likely be enshrined in Canton, Ohio:
"He is a Hall of Famer. No doubt about it. The question about first ballot is timing because, think about the peers that he's going in around. I think he maybe has an advantage because he's not going to align with his brother Peyton, who retired a couple years before.
