New York Giants legend Eli Manning didn't make it to Canton in his first year of eligibility. There are a few reasons why

While Evans was overlooked, one former Saint did get his call for Canton. Cornerback Eric Allen had an outstanding 14-year NFL career from 1988 to 2001. Allen played for the New Orleans Saints from 1995 to 1997. Over those three years he made one Pro Bowl and had 5 of his 54 career interceptions.

New Orleans native Eli Manning seemed like a lock to make the Pro Football Hall of Fame. However, he was shocking left off the list in his first year of eligibility.
