The two-time Super Bowl MVP was among 50 modern-era players advancing to the next round of consideration in the Pro Football Hall of Fame selection process.
New York Giants’ two-time Super Bowl MVP Eli Manning has cleared another hurdle on his potential path to Canton, advancing to the next round of voting for the Pro Football Hall of Fame's Class of 2025. The former Giants quarterback, who retired following the 2019 season, is one of 50 modern-era players to make the cut from an initial pool of 167 nominees down to 50.
He played his final game on December 15, 2019, when he threw for 283 yards and two touchdowns in a 36–20 victory over the Miami Dolphins in front of the home crowd. With 1:54 remaining, Manning was removed from the game, greeted by thunderous applause and a standing ovation from his teammates, coaches, and the Giants fans in attendance.
Brown is among 12 offensive linemen still under consideration, while Mitchell is one of three special teams players to advance. The Class of 2025 will ultimately include between four and eight new members, chosen from a pool of 20 finalists: 15 modern-era players, three seniors, one coach, and one contributor.
