Eli Manning was one of my all time favorites. I always kidded I was President of his fan club. I appreciated what he did on and off the field for the @Giants. I’m glad he’s walking away from the game in good health. Next steps he takes will be into Canton. 💙#ThankYouEli

7th all time in TDs
7th all time in passing yards
210 straight starts
Two ridiculously clutch playoff runs
Beat the greatest team of all time
Perfect gentleman off the field
Sorry haters. He's the man.
Kudos to an all-time clutch player, and one of the classiest athletes of this century. The Giants, and pro football, will miss Eli Manning. https://t.co/FzXzXuuNIz
