It’s August and there’s very little that’s newsworthy happening in the professional or college football world. Fall campus are underway, yes, but news hits and tweets about this or that player looking hungry or in the best shape of his life are real downers. You don’t care, we don’t care, whatever.
BUT! There are highlight-worthy moments among the relative detritus of fall camps. We’ve seen Quincy Adeboyejo make tremendous end zone grabs. We’ve seen Damore’ea Stringfellow clown the Falcons’ (second-string) secondary. We’ve admired Laquon Treadwell’s bucket hat.
On Monday, August 14, 2017, however, the New York Giants’ longtime quarterback — and former Ole Miss Rebel — Eli Manning solidified his place in the history books with one of the greatest touchdown passes you’ll ever see.
