Manning will be inducted into the New Jersey Hall of Fame later this year, the organization announced on Wednesday. Manning will join Rutgers women’s basketball coach C. Vivian Stringer, former Rutgers Athletic Director Robert Mulcahy III, NBA Hall of Famer Rick Barry, and retired professional boxer Gerry Cooney as the inductees in the sports category. Manning is a two-time Super Bowl MVP who lives in Summit, New Jersey. The fan favorite retired prior to this season. He played his entire 16-year career for the New York Giants. Manning holds Giants franchise records for most passing yards, touchdown passes, and completed passes in a career. Known best for his two improbable Super Bowl-winning postseason runs in 2007 and 2011, in which Manning led underdog Giants squads to Super Bowl victories against the New England Patriots in Super Bowls XLII and XLVI. He is one of five players to have multiple Super Bowl MVP awards. 29 inductees were selected out of the 50 nominees announced in June. The New Jersey Hall of Fame, normally has an in-person induction ceremony at the Paramount Theatre in Asbury Park.
