Why did Eli Manning miss the Hall of Fame?
By: Jake Rajala
Eli Manning, also known as the second best Manning QB, didn’t enjoy the Hall of Fame news in 2026. He was left out of Canton for the second straight season. Perhaps he’s been hanging around his father too much.
Let it be known, he has won two Super Bowl rings. Sure, he had wide receivers that have caught footballs on their helmet or with one hand while being held. Nonetheless, he has been clutch and wise with the football. Yes, it takes a lot of talent to lead the league in interceptions three time! Philip Rivers has only led the league in interceptions twice!
With that said, it would be a shame to leave him out of football heaven. After all, he has as many Super Bowl rings as Drew Brees and Aaron Rodgers combined. Fellow legendary Giants QB Phil Simms only has one Super Bowl win. Eli has the most passing yards and passing touchdowns among Giants QBs of all time.
I guess Eli shouldn’t feel too bad for not being cherished for winning multiple Super Bowl rings. Bill Belichick won six Lombardi trophies and he didn’t make it into Canton this year. Of course, there will be riots in Boston if Belichick doesn’t make it into Canton in his second season.
Perhaps Belichick was left out of the Hall of Fame for losing two Super Bowls to Eli.
Eli already has a spot in the Giants Ring of Honor. In the end, he will have a gold jacket, alongside Peyton. He will also see Lawrence Taylor and Bill Parcells in Canton, as well.
