Former New York Giants RB Brandon Jacobs says “no question” that former teammate Eli Manning is a first-ballot Pro Football Hall of Famer.

“Eli Manning is a Hall of Fame quarterback, and in my view he’s a first-ballot Hall of Fame quarterback,” Sal Paolantonio of ESPN, a Hall of Fame voter for the past 12 years, told The Post. “I think what puts him in that category is the two Super Bowl MVPs. The fact that Eli won his two Super Bowls against the Patriots dynasty I think is important.

The 15 finalists for the Pro Football Hall of Fame's class of 2025 have been revealed, and Eli Manning is among them. Manning's resume certainly deserves consideration, as he's a two-time Super Bowl winner and one of the greatest players in Giants history.

When you arrive at the answer to that question — which, of course, is the latter — you understand why Manning should join his brother, Peyton, as a first-ballot Hall of Famer.
