Part 3/9:
Transitioning into a more reflective mood, Manning addressed the recent Hall of Fame announcements. Although he was not inducted on his first attempt, he conveyed heartfelt congratulations to the players who did make the cut. Notably, he texted Jared Allen, jokingly attributing Allen's induction to the numerous times he had been sacked by the defensive end during their matchups. Manning harbored no disappointment regarding his candidacy, stating that being among the finalists was an honor. He emphasized that his legacy and the meaningful memories from his time with the New York Giants held greater importance than individual accolades.
