Eli Manning is a guy who just never really seems comfortable in public when he’s not wearing pads and a helmet. The two-time Super Bowl MVP recently remarked on all the ways his big brother Peyton would mess with him when he was a kid, and he infamously got caught during the Super Bowl looking disgusted after the Broncos scored their game-sealing touchdown.
The latest example of Manning’s awkwardness comes courtesy of the BTIG Charity Day where the Giants’ QB busted out a horrible version of his teammate Victor Cruz’s signature salsa dance. I’m pretty sure that every single person imagined Eli Manning would be terrible at dancing, and yet somehow he is even worse than I would have thought.
Manning is also heading into next season with a unique problem of no longer being the only Eli on the New York roster, after the team drafted cornerback Eli Apple during the first round of the 2016 NFL Draft.
Manning was asked what he planned on doing about having another Eli on the roster, and while most 35-year-old veterans would make the incoming rookie change their names to something ridiculous sounding, the Giants captain had a different approach.
