Heads up, New York sports fans: One of your favorite athletes has launched a shared Instagram account with one of the world’s most well-known actors.
Two-time Super Bowl champion and New York Giants legend Eli Manning has teamed up with Saturday Night Live star Pete Davidson to launch a new Instagram account, @pete_eli10. The account already has more than 45,000 followers.
Within the first 24 hours of launching, the account already had 10 posts. There’s a variety of different photos and videos of Davidson with Manning, including this hilarious video of them playing Madden together:
Davidson deleted his Instagram account following some drama with Kanye West while the former was dating Kim Kardashian. Manning doesn’t have his own personal Instagram account, but a shared account with Davidson is simply better than nothing.
Eli and older brother, fellow two-time Super Bowl champion Peyton Manning, have both performed several memorable and timeless skits on SNL. With Eli and Davidson sharing an Instagram account, it certainly feels like a good time to reunite the two for another skit on the classic television program.

The 41-year-old Manning was drafted first overall by the San Diego Chargers in 2004. But he had no desire to play for the organization, so a deal was reached to send him to the Giants in a blockbuster deal that netted the Bolts Philip Rivers.
Manning spent his entire career with the Giants, leading them to the playoffs six times. This included NFC East division titles in 2005 and 2011, but of course, Manning will best be remembered for his heroics in the Giants’ Super Bowl 42 and 46 upset wins over the dynastic New England Patriots.
The future Hall of Fame inductee announced his retirement after the 2019 season. Eli and Peyton have remained in the NFL spotlight by running the popular “Manningcast” program on ESPN’s Monday Night Football broadcast.
