passed over a year ago<\/a> in favor of Eric Allen, Jared Allen, Antonio Gates and Sterling Sharpe.<\/p>\n\u201cI\u2019m excited for those guys that got in,\u201d Manning said after he was left out last January. \u201cAll of them are so deserving \u2026 I had a feeling it wasn\u2019t going to be my night, and I understand that. I\u2019m totally at peace. It\u2019s not gonna change my outlook on my career and how I feel about it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Along with his two championships \u2014 in which he bested Tom Brady and Bill Belichick\u2019s Patriots both times \u2014 Manning ranks 11th all-time in both passing yards (57,023) and passing touchdowns (366).<\/p>\n
Aside from Brady and Patrick Mahomes, who are seemingly no doubt first-ballot Hall of Famers when their turn comes up, Manning is only two-time Super Bowl MVP who hasn\u2019t been inducted to Canton.<\/p>\n

Next year, Manning will be on the ballot once again alongside potential first-ballot inductees Rob Gronkowski, Adrian Peterson, Richard Sherman and Ben Roethlisberger.<\/p>\n
There is no set number for any class of enshrinees, but the Committee\u2019s current bylaws stipulate that between four and eight new members could be elected each year.<\/p>\n
Manning isn\u2019t the first big-name to fall short on the ballot this time around.<\/p>\n
Belichick, an eight-time Super Bowl champion, shockingly fell short<\/a> of the needed 40 out of 50 votes during his first time up for induction.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Eli Manning won\u2019t be heading to Canton \u2014 again.
