Manning, 39, has only thrown the football once since the end of his 16th and final professional season, and that was at the request of Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald. I don't have regrets. I got out at the right time. I'm kind of just at peace with it.
After 2 losses to start the season Daniel Jones would take the reigns from Manning. Manning would start his final two games of his career later in the year after a Jones injury. Daniel Jones had a really good rookie season for the NY Giants as he threw 24 touchdown passes and had 4 different games with 4 or more total touchdowns. Jones often cited Manning as someone who really helped and mentored him. The relationship was strong and it continues after a tough season for Daniel Jones. Jones and Manning spoke throughout the season and Manning has stated high praise for Jones. Eli Manning will always be one of the most famous — and beloved — NY Giants in the history of the franchise.
Manning is responsible for two Giants Super Bowl titles , and both came at the expense of the New England Patriots. Manning is being showered with praise and congratulations as he steps away from the NFL and long-timer Patriots quarterback Tom Brady also took the time on Friday to congratulate the man who defeated him in two Super Bowls. However, the six-time Super Bowl champion was also pretty blunt in saying that he wished Manning didn't win any Super Bowls over the course of his career. Instead, Brady would rather those two rings rest on his fingers.
