What passing yardage milestone did Eli Manning reach in the 2007 season?
Answer
10,000 Yards
In the 2007 season, Eli Manning reached the 10,000-yard career passing milestone. The New York Giants quarterback entered the season with just over 8,000 regular-season passing yards and surpassed 10,000 during his fourth NFL campaign.
Manning had been selected first overall by the San Diego Chargers in the 2004 NFL Draft and was traded to the Giants on draft day. By 2007, he had become New York’s established starter. He finished that regular season with 3,336 passing yards, pushing his career total well beyond the milestone.
The achievement is separate from his best-known 2007 accomplishment: leading the Giants through the playoffs to a Super Bowl XLII victory over the previously unbeaten New England Patriots. Manning’s postseason performance, including his game-winning touchdown pass to Plaxico Burress, earned him Super Bowl MVP honors. The question asks about a passing-yardage milestone, so the intended figure is career yards reached during that season—not his 2007 season total.
