CAREER
Manning was one of four quarterbacks taken in the first round of the 2004 NFL Draft along with Ben Roethlisberger, Philip Rivers and J.P. Losman. He made his first career regular season start against the Atlants Falcons in 2004. Eli was named the starter for Giants in 2005.
Manning trained in the Meadowlands with offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride and new quarterbacks coach Chris Palmer in 2007. Manning and the Giants opened the 2008 season with a win over their division rivals, the Washington Redskins, 16-7, giving their team an awesome opening to the season. The same was seen again in 2009.
In 2010, Manning got seriously injured when he got hit by Brandon Jacobs, then by Calvin Pace, which knocked off his helmet, and smashed directly into Jim Leonhard’s face mask. This injury resulted in a big gash that needed 12 stitches. After the injury, as was obvious, Manning left the game.
In 2012, Manning finished the season with 26 touchdown passes, 15 interceptions, and 3,948 passing yards. In 2013, Manning led the Giants to start off the season with a 0-6 record, the worst regular season start since 1976. Manning’s four interceptions tied his career high and was the fourth time he threw four picks in a game.
