On Wednesday, Eli Manning finally made a decision on his future. The longtime New York Giants quarterback, who the team drafted in 2004, has decided to retire. Manning will officially hold a press conference on Friday and call it quits after 16 years and two Super Bowl MVPs.
He’s one of the more accomplished Giants of all time. As a result, many are sharing their kind words amid his decision.
In a press release from the organization, former head coach Tom Coughlin portrayed praise for the veteran quarterback.
“It was an honor and privilege to coach Eli, and to go through the wonderful and magnificent moments that he and his teammates provided for all of us in the world championship ’07-’08 and ’11-’12 seasons,” Coughlin said, per Michael Eisen of the team’s official website.
