Arch Manning is NFL ready as his Uncle delivers stirring pep talk before his debut season as Texas starter

Article arrow_drop_down

After waiting two years, Arch Manning will finally take the helm as the Texas Longhorns’ starting quarterback in the 2025 season. The grandson of Archie Manning and nephew of NFL starsEli and Peyton, Manning is stepping up after Quinn Ewers moved on to the pros. Last year, Manning showcased his potential in 10 games, amassing 939 yards and nine touchdowns with an impressive 67.8% completion rate. His two starts were dominant, leading Texas to blowout wins with a combined score of 86-16.

The Longhorns will now kick off against the reigning champions, Ohio State, in Columbus. This game could decide the national title, and Manning is a Heisman favorite. With a program-record 12 players drafted into the NFL this year, the pressure is on Manning to fill the gaps, though it’s unclear if this will be his only NCAA season.

Uncle Eli Boosts Arch Manning’s Confidence on ESPN

Eli Manning recently joined ESPN’s “Get Up” to rally behind his nephew, offering a heartfelt endorsement. “I’m just proud of Arch,” Eli said. “He’s dialed into everything, soaking it all in like a sponge. He’s worked his tail off, and I’ve seen it firsthand.” While Eli didn’t break new ground, the praise underscores Arch’s athletic edge over his uncles, a must in today’s NFL where mobile quarterbacks rule and pocket passers like Eli and Peyton are fading relics.

Growing up with Hall of Fame kin likely fueled Arch’s quarterback dreams, but now he must prove the hype. With just two starts under his belt-impressive as they were-a full season leading Texas, a team hungry for its first title in 20 years, is a different beast altogether.

Make-or-Break Season: Can Manning Deliver a Title?

This year is a defining moment for Manning and the Longhorns. Texas has been a force, going 25-5 over the last two seasons and reaching the playoffs both times-the only program to do so. Yet, the national championship has eluded them. With Manning now in charge, hopes are high for a breakthrough and a third Heisman for Texas, joining Earl Campbell (1977) and Ricky Williams (1998).

The journey starts tough with Ohio State in Columbus, followed by three home games against lighter foes, a bye week, and a road test against Florida. Winning those big matchups could set up an undefeated Red River rivalry game against Oklahoma. If Manning shines, he could mirror his uncles as a top NFL draft pick.

Vysoká pokuta. Trenér Dallasu zaplatí za kritiku rozhodčích téměř třičtvrtě milionu

„Já viděl faul. (Rozhodčí) dnes večer byli hrozní. Nepřijatelní. Byl to faul a měly se házet trestné hody. To, jestli by je proměnil, záleží na hráči, ale rozhodčí neodvedli svoji práci.
