Logan Webb has announce his departure from Giant Pride for another NFL team due to…

Eli Manning, the former quarterback for the New York Giants, will be eligible for induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame this coming year as he retired in 2020.

Everyone agrees that at some point, Manning will be inducted into the Giants Hall of Fame alongside his brother Peyton and other legendary players, but the big question is whether that will happen on the first ballot.

Retired Newsday columnist Bob Glauber, a voter for the Pro Football Hall of Fame, recently commented on the difficulties the younger Manning confronts in getting into Canton on the first ballot.

“I think it will be probably pretty challenging for him to be a first-ballot Hall of Famer because there is there is a lot of discussion about, you know, where Eli’s career ranks,” Glauber said on the podcast Locked On Giants.

The Hall of Fame voter outlined several obstacles that stand in Manning’s way of being elected into the Hall of Fame on the first ballot. Among these are his career statistics, which, despite finishing in the top 10, didn’t include leadership in passing yardage, an MVP award, or an All-Pro selection.

“He was not Manning, Peyton. Drew Brees was not him. He lacked the numbers that indicate, “Okay, Lock—gotta get him in right away.” 500 record during career. That, in my opinion, contradicts him.

“Not having All-Pros will definitely work against him. However, I believe there are causes for that. It matters more to get All-Pros and other distinctions when you play while your brother and Drew Brees are playing.” Despite having won two Super Bowls versus Tom Brady and two MVP awards, and ranking tenth in career throwing yards with little over 57,000 yards, Glauber believes Manning will have challenges induction into the Hall of Fame on his first try.

“Once more, I believe he will eventually acquire access. It all depends on precisely where that moment is, Glauber remarked. “The conversations held at the Hall of Fame are really serious. I’ll admit that I enjoy the procedure.
