But the quarter of the giants will have to wait at least a year more, if not more, to put on a gold jacket. Because the voters have spoken: it is not sure.
Manning, 44, twice Super Bowl and MVP champion, obviously has a case based on his after-season heroic and his historic place in some of the biggest moments in the NFL.
He and the Giants eliminated the unbeaten patriots of New England, 17-14, in the Super Bowl XLII to crown the 2007 NFL season. The completion of Manning’s last driving to David Tyree for his famous helmet taking is always the most remarkable game in the history of the Super Bowl.
