Why Eli Manning didn't make the cut for the HOF Class of 2025

Eli Manning will have to wait to get into the Pro Football Hall of Fame for at least another year.

The legendary New York Giants quarterback didn't make the cut for the Class of 2025 in his first year of eligibility. Manning was one of 15 finalists who were in consideration. He didn't make the cut for the final 10 after a "vigorous discussion" about his candidacy.

The group of four who will be inducted this summer in Canton did not include a quarterback. Instead, the group is made up of cornerback Eric Allen, defensive lineman Jared Allen, tight end Antonio Gates and wide receiver Sterling Sharpe.
