Eli Manning Not Inducted in 2025 Hall Class

Eli Manning, two-time Super Bowl MVP and former New York Giants quarterback, was not inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame as part of the 2025 class and is expected to face further delays due to a highly competitive ballot in the coming years. Analysts point to his four Pro Bowl selections, lack of All-Pro honors, and 'borderline' credentials despite his playoff heroics and championships. The Hall's new, more exclusive voting process is expected to favor first-ballot candidates like Drew Brees, Larry Fitzgerald, JJ Watt, and Tom Brady, making Manning's path more difficult. Experts predict that while Manning's eventual induction remains likely, it will be postponed for several years. The Manning legacy continues through Arch Manning, Cooper's son, who is a promising college quarterback. Cooper Manning did not play in the NFL due to a career-ending medical diagnosis but has found success in business and sports media.
