Eli said he “feels” for his nephew because he “has a lot of pressure and a lot of expectations” to be great.
“I said to him, ‘Enjoy being a high school football player,’” Eli Manning said. “This is an amazing time in your life, some of your best friends forever. Don’t start thinking too much about college, or “Hey, where am I going to play college,” and think about the next level where you can’t enjoy this time in your life.
“So just enjoy it, work hard on it, be a great teammate and you’ll find out where to go to play college.”
