What Eli Manning’s ex-backup had to say about retired QB

MIAMI — “Great.’’

That is how Sage Rosenfels described how Eli Manning treated backup quarterbacks.

Rosenfels spent 12 years in the NFL and made only 12 starts during that time. He was on the roster of five teams and moved from team-to-team seven times. He spent the 2010 season — “exactly 365 days as a New York football Giant’’ he recalled — serving as Manning’s understudy. Rosenfels got in 12 games and did not throw a pass.

“He was great to everybody,’’ Rosenfels told The Post on Wednesday from Super Bowl LIV Radio Row.
