Eli Manning Reveals What He Texted Tom Brady After Buccaneers Super Bowl Win

Tom Brady’s kryptonite gave him a call following his 7th Super Bowl win. During an interview with Sports Illustrated, New York Giants legendary Quarterback Eli Manning said he sent Brady a text after the 43-year-old Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback helped the team win Super Bowl LV in February. Just a reminder, only one quarterback has won two Super Bowls against Tom Brady: Eli Manning.

See Eli’s message to Tom below:

“Yeah, I sent Tom a text just congratulating him and really just saying how not surprised but impressed with what he was able to do this year with Tampa, changing teams, shortened season, lock out and pandemic, everything going on,” Manning told SI.

“To still learn a brand new offense and make those adjustments and go win a championship is pretty spectacular,” he added. “I’ve known Tom a long time and I just wanted him to know that I was impressed, along with a lot of other people.”

Tom clearly respects Eli.

“Congratulations on your retirement, and a great career Eli!” Brady wrote in the tweet. “Not going to lie though, I wish you hadn’t won any Super Bowls.”

Congratulations on your retirement, and a great career Eli! Not going to lie though, I wish you hadn’t won any Super Bowls.
