First of all, I'm not sure he is. But many people assume that all celebrities are de facto role models because kids look up to them and idolize them. It's an unhealthy thing to do, and all parents should have a long talk with their kids at various stages of development to make sure their heads are screwed on straight about celebrities and the difference between fiction and reality. As for Eli Manning himself, he and his brother seem to have their heads screwed on straight about as well as any celebrities (especially children of a celebrity) that you can pick. Of course, every time one thinks that, someone like Marvin Harrison who you thought was a straight arrow turns around and does something wacky. Hence the danger of letting your kids idolize anyone without teaching them common sense on the issue.
