Before from the NFL in January, longtime quarterback hinted that he as a Francisco Liriano Jersey backup. Four months later, the two-time Super Bowl champion (and two-time Super Bowl MVP) has shed a little more light on that mentality, noting in a recent online commencement speech that becoming the team's No. 2 QB in 2019 after accomplishing what he had at the NFL level was "awkward." Addre sing the graduating cla ses of 2020 of virtual celebrity commencement speeches, Manning spent much of his 11-minute commentary poking fun at le sons learned the hard way.In between jokes about his experiences at Ole Mi s, where he spent time in the back of a police car and dreaming about Scantron tests, as well as career advice from his dad, Steven Brault Jersey Archie, the former Giants great suggested that taking a back seat to was, well, uncomfortable."I don't mind being in awkward situations or doing things that I don't nece sarily want to do," he said, "like becoming the Giants' backup quarterback after winning two Super Bowls and walking away with the MVP. Embracing awkward is worth cultivating. Because life ... rarely goes as Guillermo Heredia Jersey planned."Hardly a surprising revelation from Manning, who opened the 2019 season all but a sured that he'd soon be replaced by Jones, the No. 6 overall pick in last April's draft. But it's still noteworthy considering the way Manning opted to hang up the cleats this offseason.

As Manning pointed out, his resume -- and a recent proclamation that he can still play starting-caliber football -- simply wouldn't allow for him to Roberto Clemente Jersey stick around as the second fiddle under center. That's not to say Manning didn't do exactly what he advised in the commencement speech. By all accounts, the veteran was quiet and supportive of Jones after being relegated to the bench following the Giants' 0-2 start in 2019, even if the change was "awkward."
