Manning is a two-time Super Bowl winner and MVP (XLII, XLVI), a four-time Pro Bowl selection, and the 2016 Walter Payton NFL Man of Year recipient.

Manning is enshrined in the Giants’ Ring of Honor and his No. 10 has been retired by the Giants.

Eli holds almost all of the Giants’ franchise passing records — both career and single-season — and played in a franchise record 236 games, including 222 consecutive starts, fourth-most by a quarterback in NFL history.

Manning also holds the records for the most passing yards in a single postseason (1,219 yards) and completions and attempts in a single postseason (103 completions and 163 attempts) both set in 2011.
