Eli Manning is the greatest quarterback in Giants football history. He is the franchise leader in both passing yards (57,023) and touchdowns (366), but his accolades go far beyond the stats. Eli has two Super Bowl MVPs to his name, both in wins over the New England Patriots dynasty. Despite the unwillingness to play for the San Diego Chargers, which forced the draft day trade, he showed an undying loyalty to the Giants, through his highs and lows.
