Giants legend Eli Manning can’t help staying engaged with the only team he played for in the NFL, even after retirement. And he believes they’re primed for a playoff push.

“I think it’s time to obviously get back to the playoffs,” he told Kevin Clark on The Ringer’s Slow News Day. “I think they have a great opportunity. Coach Judge, what he’s done and kinda changing the culture there. He’s a tough coach and the players are buying in. It’s been exciting to see that.

"I think with Daniel Jones, second year within the same offense and putting some players around him, he’ll make great strides. So I think they have a great opportunity to check that box.”

Manning has been at Giants camp to watch his former protégé in Jones work with new faces like Kenny Golladay and Kadarius Toney, though it’s been on a limited basis due to injuries. But alongside others like Saquon Barkley and Sterling Shepard, the Giants and Jones have all they need to be a lethal offense in 2021.
