Manning quarterbacks have a history of being selected at or near the top of the draft.

Archie Manning — the father of Peyton and Eli, and grandfather of Arch — was the second pick in the 1971 NFL Draft, landing in New Orleans.

Nearly three decades later, in 1998, Peyton was picked first by the Indianapolis Colts.

Then, just six years after that, in 2004, Eli went No. 1 to the New York Giants.

Now, it could be Arch's time.

The youngest Manning quarterback will start for the Texas Longhorns next season, after touching the field sparingly as a freshman and somewhat often as a sophomore, serving as backup for Quinn Ewers.

In 2023, he saw action in two games and completed two passes for 30 yards. Then, last season, he played in 10 games, completing 61 of 90 passes for 939 yards and nine touchdowns.

He also rushed for 108 yards and four scores last season.

Over at FanDuel, quarterback Garrett Nussmeier is the favorite at +380. At LSU last season, he passed for 4,052 yards.
