New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning is one of the most intelligent and savvy players to ever step foot onto an NFL field, which has many wondering if he may get into coaching once his playing career comes to an official end.
At one point in time, Manning acknowledged that as a possibility, but after coaching rookie Daniel Jones for the past 10 weeks, he’s had a change of heart.
“You look at it like, ‘OK, well would I like to get into coaching one day?'” Manning said, via the New York Post. “Maybe that was the mindset. I learned I don’t want to be in coaching. I don’t like it. I don’t like doing that aspect. Try to make the best of it and try to find some positive things in it, which there are.”
With the coaching option off the table, it’s likely Manning will aim to extend his playing career, but in order to do so, he’ll have to pounce on the few opportunities he has left — the first of which will come on Monday night against the Philadelphia Eagles.
