Last month, Eli Manning joked that he is seeking some credit for helping his brother, Peyton Manning, secure his Pro Football Hall of Fame bid. Peyton notably had 539 touchdowns during his NFL run. 

“The fact I had to go outside in New Orleans, from the ages of when I was 10 to 14, in the summer, on our front street, wearing a sweatshirt filled with pillows and down my sleeves and chest. So I could catch passes from [Peyton] and wouldn’t come in totally bruised and in pain for days after.”

Manning goes on to joke that if he wasn’t mentioned in Peyton’s Hall of Fame speech, he’s going to be a little disappointed. See the hilariously comments from Eli right here.
