Happy anniversary, Eli Manning.
On this date 18 years ago, the former Ole Miss Rebels quarterback was taken by the New York Giants in the 2004 NFL Draft.
The rest, of course, is history – Eli Manning went on to win two Super Bowls playing for the New York Football Giants.
Fans have taken to social media to pay tribute to Eli on his anniversary on Sunday.
