Ahead of Eli Manning's retirement announcement on Friday, his brother, former Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning named Eli as one of his top three favorite players.
Peyton's second favorite player, Marino, had a much more illustrious career. After being drafted in 1983, Marino went on to spend his entire 17-year career with the Miami Dolphins, where he compiled a number of accolades including, nine Pro Bowl selections, an NFL MVP Award and an NFL Offensive Player of the Year Award.
"I certainly have my strong feelings and opinions on it," Manning said regarding his brother's Hall of Fame candidacy.
While Peyton named his brother as his third favorite player to watch, he also stated that their brotherly love made it hard for them to enjoy playing against each other, which happened three times in their careers.
