Eli Manning remains on the sidelines after another year of Hall of Fame voting.
The longtime New York Giants quarterback was not elected to Canton as part of the class of 2026, Dan Duggan and Ian O’Connor of The Athletic reported on Wednesday. It’s the second year Manning has been eligible and not been elected.
Manning led the Giants to two Super Bowl titles in his 16-year career and is one of only six players to win multiple Super Bowl MVPs.
He started 210 straight games from 2004 to 2017, which is the third-longest streak by a quarterback, and ranks 11th in passing yards (57,023) and passing touchdowns (366).
Despite his longevity and championship success, Manning played in the shadow of other elite quarterbacks from his era, including his brother Peyton, Tom Brady and Drew Brees. As a result, Manning was never an all-Pro and he was only ever named to four Pro Bowl teams.
Manning led the NFL in interceptions three times and finished his regular-season career with a 117-117 record as a starter. The Giants made the playoffs in six of Manning’s 16 seasons.
The 2026 Hall of Fame class will be announced next week during the NFL Honors award show.
