Eli Manning Rode the NYC Subway for the First Time, and Fans Had Jokes

In Eli Manning’s decorated 16-season career with the New York Giants, there’s apparently one thing he never accomplished: Riding the subway. 

Earlier this week, Manning shared a photo of himself in a station in Manhattan with the caption, “First time riding the subway!”

The former No. 1 pick who muscled his way out of the team that drafted him in 2004 and onto the Giants doesn’t exactly give off common-man commuter vibes. Especially when that commute tends to feature rats on the tracks and jam-packed cars.

But, in the face of all things associated with urban public transit, Manning did it. He rode the subway.

Fans were, er, mostly proud of him.

Best evidence the Giants are a New Jersey team https://t.co/4NU5AulIAa
