Witty, engaging Eli Manning is master pitchman, media pro

Eli Manning deftly turned a question about preparing for his television gig into a brand promotion. The two-time Super Bowl MVP is already a master pitchman and media pro. Manning has stayed busy since retiring from the NFL following the 2019 season. He’s part of the successful Manningcast on ESPN. The 10-game “Monday Night Football with Peyton and Eli Manning” drew rave reviews and the package runs through 2024. Season 2 of “Eli’s Places” debuted last month on ESPN+ and “The Eli Manning Show” on YouTube is back for a second season.
