6. Eli Manning (QB-NYG)
How Eli Manning found his way out of the grasp of the New England Patriots rush, and found David Tyree for the most spectacular play in Super Bowl history, we still don’t know.
What we do know is this New York Giants quarterback is money when it counts most.
Unlike his big brother, this Manning has the uncanny ability to raise his game when the moment is at its most hectic. He knocked off Tom Brady and Bill Belichick not once, but twice in the big game.
Let’s also not forget he led the way in stunning the world while beating the unbeatable 18-0 Pats in Super Bowl XLII.
