Former Giants quarterback and two-time Super Bowl champion Eli Manning is among the group of first-time nominees for the Pro Football Hall of Fame class of 2025.

Manning led the Giants to Super Bowl titles in 2008 and 2012, both of which came against Tom Brady and the Patriots.

The Giants great was named MVP for both of those Super Bowls.

He was one of 167 modern-era candidates that were announced on Wednesday by the Hall of Fame and that number will be weeded down to 50 players next month by a screening committee.

The nominees get cut down to 25 and then down to 15  ahead of the Super Bowl.  

In order to be voted into the Hall of Fame, a player must get 80 percent of the votes and according to the Hall’s bylaws, three to five players from the modern era candidates can get in. 

Manning had been a first-overall pick by the Chargers and was traded to the Giants without ever playing a single snap with the then-San Diego franchise. 

He earned four Pro Bowl nods during the course of his NFL career and finished with 57,023 yards passing and 366 touchdowns. 

Manning never led the NFL in any major statistical category during a single season and was never named an All-Pro. 

He retired with a 117-117-0 record and ranks 10th all-time in passing yards and passing touchdowns.

He was 12th in all-time in NFL history in game-winning drives. 

Manning is joined by several other Giants greats who are up for a bid to the Hall of Fame in the 2025 class. 

Running back Tiki Barber, tight end Jeremy Shockey, guard Chris Snee, defensive end Justin Tuck, linebacker Jessie Armstead, and punters Jeff Feagles and Sean Landeta join Manning on the ballot. 

If selected, Manning would join his brother, NFL legend Peyton Manning in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
