Texas Longhorns quarterback Arch Manning still has three years of NCAA eligibility left, but his grandfather already has sights set on his NFL future.
Archie Manning, not only the grandfather of Arch but the father of Peyton, Eli, and Arch's dad Cooper, was asked recently by a fan where he'd like to see his grandson play in the NFL. "I hope he'll play [the next] three years at Texas..." the 75-year-old answered in a video posted to social media before revealing his answer. "It's funny, nobody's ever asked me that. Right off the bat, if somebody asked me, I'd say Cowboys."
Archie, who had a 14-year NFL career himself, has certainly shown a way of getting what he wants in situations like this. Back in 2004, he was the driving force behind his son Eli getting traded to the Giants after being drafted by the Chargers, because they didn’t want him to play in San Diego.
We'll have to wait and see what Arch's football future ultimately holds. For now? He and the Texas Longhorns are gearing up for the SEC Championship coming up on Saturday in Atlanta. They'll take on the Georgia Bulldogs at 4:00 p.m. EST.
Has there ever been a family more dominant in a sport than this one? Imagine the pressure on Arch? Eli to me looked like he wasn't going to make it but he proved me wrong.
Probably not... the Mc Caffery's may have a bigger impact in the future.. Seems like the bloodline produces gold jackets
Good thing its not up to him 🤦🏼♀️
You obviously dont know much about your Mannings....
Lets bet on this. I bet Arch wont play for the Cowboys. Grampy might have had some pull back in 2004, but things change in 20 years. Let me know if you want to bet on it. Ill come out of bet retirement for this one 💯
You quit betting
I can make an exception for this one. Let me know 😁
