Eli Manning is playing for a lot of money this season, so of course he’s entering this season in prime shape, ready to lead the G-Men back to the playoffs.
Responding to questions from reporters, Manning said “he expects to have his best season” in the NFL this year.
“I am,” Manning said, per The New York Post. “I like the guys we have in the locker room, I like our talent, I like how everybody’s approaching this season, I’m looking forward to it.”
The offense has a track-team feel to it after the emergence of Odell Beckham Jr., the rookie wideout who regularly beat double coverage for huge plays. If Manning can get back a healthy Victor Cruz, while utilizing Rueben Randle correctly, the Giants could boast one of the NFC’s top receiver trios.
Shane Vereen gives Eli another pass-catching options out of the backfield as well.
“I think he can have a dominant season,” Cruz said. “I think that with the type of offense we have, and the way that we all can click come September and all that good stuff, I think it’s gonna make for a very, very dominant type of offense where we could go and put up 28, 35 points at a clip, and really do some fun things this year.”
