Tavita Asotui Peter Eli (born January 31, 1996) is a professional Canadian football offensive lineman for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers of the Canadian Football League. Eli is a Canadian born in Richmond, British Columbia but he is of Samoan heritage.[3] He played college football for the Hawaii Rainbow Warriors, an injury in 2018 cost him the entire season and Eli walked away from football.[3] Prior to the 2019 CFL Draft, Eli was contacted by the Bombers to see if he was interested in playing football again, to which he responded yes.[3] Ultimately he was drafted in the fourth round, 34th overall by the Bombers.[3] Eli helped anchor the Bombers offensive line during their 2019 season which saw Andrew Harris win the rushing title. That same season he also started the 107th Grey Cup which the Blue Bombers won over the Hamilton Tiger-Cats 33-12, the team's first Grey Cup in 29 years.
