US EditionReport: Eli Manning Falls Short Again in Hall of Fame Voting
Eli Manning missed Hall of Fame election again despite two Super Bowl MVPs and a 16-year career with the Giants, with voters citing lack of top quarterback status.
- On Jan. 28, 2026, Eli Manning, former New York Giants quarterback, fell short of election to the Pro Football Hall of Fame for the second straight year, The Athletic reported.
- Voters cited résumé gaps: no first‑team All‑Pro or league MVP, four Pro Bowls and a 117-117 regular‑season record over 16 NFL seasons.
- Despite résumé concerns, Manning's postseason résumé includes two Super Bowl MVP awards, 210 consecutive starts, and 27 fourth-quarter comebacks.
- The decision delays Manning's Hall hopes and means he must wait until at least 2027 to pursue election again amid the shocking snub of Bill Belichick, former New England Patriots head coach; this year’s Hall of Fame inductees will be announced next week.
- Ranked 11th in passing yards and TDs, Manning played alongside Hall of Famer Peyton Manning and Tom Brady, fueling debates over Hall of Fame standards and era comparisons.
