6.) Eli Manning
The 2014 season saw the bounce back of Giants’ QB Eli Manning, who after a tough 2013 season, looked like an elite QB in 2014.
Manning threw for 4,410 yards with 30 TD passes to just 14 interceptions. The 4,410 passing yards and 30 TD passes were both the second-highest that Manning has thrown for in his career, as the hiring of Ben McAdoo as the Giants’ offensive coordinator certainly paid dividends for Manning.
In 2015, Manning will be looking for more team success, and with what looks like a loaded receiving core next season, Manning could be ready for his best regular season yet.
