When speaking of Eli Manning Jordan Scarlett Jersey , it tends to be a hot topic among NFL fans. his sometimes sloppy play has backed him up. In addition, having to live up to the hype of all-time great Peyton Manning isn’t easy.But on the other hand, Manning is a two-time Super Bowl MVP and, despite his knack for interceptions, has gone largely underrated throughout his time in the NFL. Sure, he doesn’t post the best stats, but the fact that he never misses a game and constantly puts his team in the position to win says something about the type of player he is.But depending on what side of the fence you fall on in the Manning debate, one thing is for certain: he hasn't had the best options at wide receiver to throw to.Sure, the trio of Odell Beckham Jr., Victor Cruz and Sterling Shepard currently look like one of the best receiving units in the entire league. But for a large portion of his career, Manning hasn’t had top tier targets to help him out when the situation calls for it.Let’s take a look at some of those receivers. Tony Gonzalez, the most accomplished tight end in NFL history David Montgomery Jersey , Ed Reed, Champ Bailey and London Fletcher are first-year eligible players among the 102 modern-era nominees for the class of 2019 for the Pro Football Hall of Fame.Gonzalez retired in 2013 after 17 pro seasons in which he had 1,325 receptions, second to Jerry Rice on the career list. A college basketball and football star at California, he was drafted 13th overall by the Chiefs in 1997 and played a dozen seasons in Kansas City. Gonzalez spent his final five seasons with Atlanta, finishing with 111 touchdown catches and 15,127 yards receiving. He made six All-Pro teams and was a member of the all-decade team for 2000-10.Reed and Bailey were standout defensive backs for stout units. The 24th overall draft selection in 2002, Reed played 11 seasons in Baltimore, three times leading the league in interceptions. Among his 64 career picks were returns for touchdowns of 106 and 107 yards. He made five All-Pro squads, was the 2004 Defensive Player of the Year, and joined Gonzalez on the all-decade team. Reed won a Super Bowl in the 2012 season.Bailey began his career with Washington in 1999 as the seventh overall draft choice. He moved to Denver in 2004, and led the NFL in interceptions with 10 in 2006. Bailey, who also dabbled on offense http://www.bearsfootballauthentics.com/riley-ridley-jersey-authentic , had 52 career picks, made three All-Pro teams and, yes, also was on the all-decade team of 2000-2010.Fletcher became a starting linebacker in St. Louis in 1999 and won a Super Bowl. A rare undrafted player to be nominated for the Hall of Fame, he missed only one start from 1999-2013 with the Rams, Bills and Redskins. Fletcher made four Pro Bowls and finished his career with 1,380 tackles, 23 interceptions and 39 sacks.Finalists from 2018 who are nominated again include running back Edgerrin James; wide receiver Isaac Bruce; offensive linemen Kevin Mawae, Steve Hutchinson, Alan Faneca and Tony Boselli; safety John Lynch; and cornerback Ty Law.The roster of nominees has 47 offensive players, 39 defensive players, five special teams players and 11 coaches. Among those coaches are Super Bowl champions Bill Cowher, Tom Flores Shareef Miller Jersey , Mike Holmgren, Jimmy Johnson and Dick Vermeil.The modern-era nominees will be reduced to 25 semifinalists in November and, from there, to 15 finalists in January. A senior committee finalist, former Chiefs defensive back Johnny Robinson, and two finalists from the contributors category, Broncos owner Pat Bowlen and former Cowboys executive and current NFL consultant Gil Brandt, also have been nominated.Voting by the 48-member Hall of Fame panel will be held Feb. 2, the day before the Super Bowl, in Atlanta. Inductions in the Canton, Ohio, shrine will be in early August.
