Nothing came easy for Eli Manning during his 16-year NFL career, so it shouldn’t be surprising that the New York Giants legend’s path to the Hall of Fame is off to a bumpy start. Manning failed to secure enough votes to gain entry into the Pro Football Hall of Fame during his first year of eligibility.
