Awaiting Eventual Induction

Manning's career includes notable achievements that are expected to contribute to his eventual induction. He is one of six players to earn multiple Super Bowl MVP awards. Among Hall of Fame-eligible players with multiple Super Bowl MVPs, Joe Montana, Terry Bradshaw, and Bart Starr were first-ballot inductees.

Career Highlights and Hall of Fame Credentials

His career statistics include ranking 11th in passing yards and 11th in passing touchdowns at the time of this report. He spent his entire 16-year career with the Giants, where he started 210 consecutive games between 2004 and 2017, marking the third-longest streak for a quarterback.

Factors Against Immediate Selection

Factors cited against Manning's immediate induction include that he was not consistently recognized as a top-tier quarterback during his playing era. He never received an All-Pro selection and was named to the Pro Bowl four times.

His career starting record was 117-117, and he led the NFL in interceptions three times.
