With the announcement of the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s Class of 2025 that featured Green Bay WR Sterling Sharpe, Chargers’ TE Antonio Gates, Chiefs and Vikings DE Jared Allen and former Eagles cornerback Eric Allen, there was one surprising omission that happened to be a big-name quarterback.
Of course, I’m talking about former New York Giants’ QB Eli Manning.
Manning did not make the cut for the Class of 2025 to enter the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Despite winning two Super Bowls over arguably the greatest dynasty in NFL history in the New England Patriots, Manning’s resume outside of the two Super Bowls wasn’t strong enough to be a first-ballot Hall of Famer.
