Months away from announcing his retirement from the NFL, two-time Super Bowl winner Eli Manning has really started his post-football life.

He’s now on social media. The future Hall of Fame quarterback (question mark) announced his presence in a grand way.

To paraphrase Jimmy Chitwood, “I don’t know if it’ll make any change, but I figure it’s time for me to start playing social media." pic.twitter.com/Af8IFMOiEQ

While Eli defeated Tom Brady twice in the Super Bowl, he has a long way to go before joining GOAT in GOAT status on Twitter. Mr. Manning is once again playing catch up.
