Eli Manning may have fallen just short of being named to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility. But he still feels like he's part

Eli Manning, the former New York Giants quarterback has opened up and given his honest reaction after his Hall of Fame snub, which means he will have to wait another year for his bust in Canton.

To be clear, he does not want this. If Manning is a first-ballot Hall of Famer, he’ll receive that honor in his home city in front of his friends and family. It would be another perfect moment for an athlete who, during his career, made a few of those happen.
