One of Eli Manning’s former New York Giants teammates, Cornerback Prince Amukamara, is not happy that his former teammate did not do Pro Football Hall of Fame last week.
“Snubed guy, come on man!” Amukamara exclaimed for TMZ Sports.
“And it’s crazy, because before he retired, it has always been the argument right: Is he a first voice hall in Famer?”

Amukamara was Manning’s teammate for five seasons, from 2011-2015, and started all four playoff matches in the Giants Super Bowl race in 2011.
“All I know is two-time Super Bowl MVP, beat everyone’s goat, never missed one down, never missed a game, never missed a game … he comes in next time,” said Amukamara.
Manning’s candidacy for Pro Hall of Fame has been discussed warmly among fans.
Manning is a four-time pro bowler and two-time Super Bowl MVP. He is 11. All the time in passing yards and touchdown-Pas thrown.
He was as durable as they come, starting 210 consecutive matches, a line that ended only because he was a bench and not because of injury.

On the other hand, Manning ended with a career 117-117 record and has 244 career upsets, good for 12. Most early time.
Amukamara said that those who were elected deserved the honor.
Jared Allen, Antonio Gates, Sterling Sharpe and Eric Allen were the four players who will be turned down in Canton this year.
While Amukamara thought Manning was a snub, he said the same thing about former Carolina Panthers star Linebacker Luke Kuechly.

Kuechly played only for eight seasons, but was undoubtedly one of the best linebackers in the sport. He won the defensive rookie of the year, won the defensive player of the year in 2013, was a seven-time pro-bowler and five-time all-pro. He led the NFL in tackles twice in his career.

Amukamara joked that he wouldn’t say anything that would get him snubbed from the hall. He had a decent nine-year career with Giants, Jacksonville Jaguars and Chicago Bears, but he doesn’t want to make the Hall of Fame.
