Final play: Shotgun draw
Both ironic and fitting, if Manning never takes the field in blue again, his final play will have been a shotgun draw.
Why is that at all significant?
Well, if you’ve followed Manning’s storied 16-year career, you’d know that he’s run the shotgun draw more than any other play and there’s not a close second. It actually became a running joke under offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride and has survived the test of time.
It’s a play that frustrates fans to now end, but it’s also one of the most Eli things ever.
