Eli Manning moved one step closer to football immortality Saturday, as he was named one of 15 finalists for the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s Class of 2025.
Manning, the former No. 1 overall pick who spent his entire 16-year career with the Giants and guided them to two Super Bowl wins, will find out on Feb. 6 if he’ll be inducted as a first-time nominee.
“It’s one of those deals that you can’t control, you can’t worry about,” Manning told The Post’s Ryan Dunleavy about his Hall of Fame chances in 2022. “Everything has been done. All the passes have already happened. I’m just enjoying retirement and the new things that I’m doing, my family and coaching my kids in their sports. I’m probably more worried about whether they are going to make the All-Star team than I am about whether I’m going to make the Hall of Fame.”
