The University of Mississippi and its football program has long hitched its PR wagon to the Manning Family. In recent years, that’s meant Eli Manning as much as his famous father, and with good reason. Manning is a two-time Super Bowl winner and MVP playing quarterback in the nation’s No. 1 media market.
Eli Manning has become one of the most famous and recognizable athletes in the past 10 years.
On Tuesday, the Giants organization announced Manning would not start for the first time since November 21, 2004. If you’re counting, that’s 210 consecutive games under center.
