Remember me? 23 Eli Manning pass-catchers you've forgotten | Why it matters in 2018

In the beginning, Eli Manning had Amani Toomer, Jeremy Shockey and Tiki Barber.

Then came Plaxico Burress, Steve Smith, Mario Manningham, Hakeem Nicks and eventually Victor Cruz.

Now he has Odell Beckham, Sterling Shepard, Saquon Barkley and Evan Engram.

Sure, Manning has had some high-profile pass-catchers during his Giants' career. But Manning also hasn't discriminated with his targets.

And he might need to establish some unproven receivers (maybe the hard-working quartet of Hunter Sharp, Kalif Raymond, Marquis Bundy and Amba Etta-Tawo) in 2018.

As he begins his 15th season (his first practice is Monday) with the Giants with 4,424 regular-season completions, here are some of Manning's pass-catchers you probably have forgotten, with help from the archives on ProFootballReference.
