Eli Manning Leads Pro Football HOF Class Of 2025 Nominees
Legendary quarterback Eli Manning leads a list of 167 candidates who’ve been nominated for the Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 2025.
Manning, a two-time Super Bowl MVP, joins former Defensive Players of the Year Luke Kuechly and Terrell Suggs as first-time nominees.
A screening committee will cut the list down to 50 nominees next month, before the list is reduced to 25 semifinalists and again to 15 finalists.
Candidates must need 80% of the votes to get into the Hall of Fame, with between three and five modern-era candidates able to be inducted in each class.
Manning will look to join his brother Peyton into the Hall of Fame with both siblings, two of just 13 quarterbacks to win multiple Super Bowls.
Manning was drafted by the San Diego Chargers as the No.1 pick in 2004 before being traded to the New York Giants, where he won his first Super Bowl in 2007.
The four-time pro bowler won his second title four years later, beating the New England Patriots again, and became one of just six players to win multiple Super Bowl MVPs.

Mike Tomlin and the Pittsburgh Steelers continue to prove there’s an opportunity for consistency in the NFL, which is constantly changing and evolving.
Tomlin has provided a winning football culture within the franchise during his 18 years at the helm.
The Steelers improved to 9-3 on Sunday, following a 44-38 victory against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Here’s what you need to know about the Steelers’ winning ways:
How many consecutive winning seasons have the Steelers had?
The Steelers tied an NFL record with their 21st non-losing season, including the last 18 with Tomlin, after the win on Sunday.
Tomlin’s 18-year winning run, which started in 2007, is now four seasons longer of a streak than any other start to a head coach’s career. He’s had at least 10 seasons with double-digit victories during that time.
Tomlin trails Bill Belichick’s 19 straight winning seasons with the New England Patriots, which is second only to former Dallas Cowboys coach Tom Landry.
Landry’s Cowboys are the only other team to accomplish 21 consecutive seasons of finishing at least .500 or better. The feat was achieved from 1965 to 1985.
Who was the coach when the Steelers’ streak started?
Bill Cowher spent 14 years as the head coach of the Steelers from 1992 to 2006. Cowher’s final three seasons from 2004 to 2006 started the winning season’s streak.

Some big changes are coming to Oakland for Pittsburgh Regional Transit riders, all of which include closures, construction, and the future of safety.
Riders who typically catch the bus on Fifth Avenue in Oakland should start preparing because starting Sunday, Pittsburgh Regional Transit says the bus lane on Fifth Avenue will be permanently retired.
It’s a part of their University Line project, designed to create a more reliable connection between Downtown, Uptown, and Oakland.
But without the Fifth Avenue bus lane, traffic is shifting.
“All of our bus operational movements are going to be moving over here to Forbes Avenue,” said Amy Silbermann, chief development officer with Pittsburgh Regional Transit.
For riders, this means big changes.
Seventeen outbound bus stops along Fifth Avenue will be eliminated, 9 bus routes will be rerouted, and all outbound buses will travel on Forbes with general traffic.
“Forbes Avenue is going to be more congested. We will have more buses than today,” Silbermann noted.
While the closure is permanent, the construction and renovation will be temporary, and part of a much bigger plan.
“Ultimately, that lane is going to turn into a two-way protected bicycle facility. All buses will remain on Forbes Avenue outbound for as long as we know,” Silbermann said.
This change will now leave Forbes as the main bus corridor.
“Ultimately, one lane on Forbes Avenue is going to become a bus-only lane. However, that’s not happening until later next year.”
In the meantime, PRT says it’s working with the city and Port Authority police to keep traffic moving. The entire project is expected to be completed by 2027.
“This is not about making buses rapid. This is about making buses move more reliably and continuously throughout the corridor,” Silbermann said. “Today, they get very bunched up because of the conditions. Once they get bunched up, they end up with big gaps in service, where you may wait a really long time and then get on a really overcrowded bus.”
PRT says they will have staff at select bus stops to help navigate through this transition.
