Jameis Winston posts touching tribute to Eli Manning on Instagram

The NFL is a competitive league, but it is also a fraternity that bonds players together for life. So, when a legend of the game like Eli Manning says goodbye after 16 seasons, players stop to pay their respects.

Manning, the New York Giants quarterback, led his team to two Super Bowl wins over the New England Patriots, including perhaps the biggest upset in history when the Giants downed the 18-0 Patriots in Super Bowl XLII.

Players from around the NFL have been showing Manning love on social media, including Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston, who posted the below message on his Instagram.

Eli you are world class. It was an honor competing against you and watching you compete against others. Congrats on all of your achievements throughout your career. Thank you for the impact you help make on a lot of other QB’s. #worldclass #manningpassingacademy #2timesuperbowlchamp #2timesuperbowlmvp #hof
