Eli Manning Faces Uncertain First-Year Hall of Fame Induction

The two-time Super Bowl MVP's candidacy is debated due to mixed regular-season performance and historic postseason success.

Eli Manning is one of 25 semifinalists for the Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 2025 in his first year of eligibility.
Manning's postseason achievements, including two Super Bowl MVPs, are central to his Hall of Fame case.
Critics highlight Manning's lack of All-Pro selections, a 117-117 career regular-season record, and leading the league in interceptions three times.
Supporters emphasize his historic playoff performances, durability with 210 consecutive starts, and top-10 career rankings in key passing statistics at retirement.
The Hall of Fame selection process requires 80% approval from the committee, with the list of semifinalists being narrowed to finalists in the coming months.
