Arch Manning, the 19-year-old quarterback from Texas, comes from a family steeped in football tradition, with uncles Peyton and Eli Manning, and grandfather Archie Manning, all having played college football at Southeastern Conference schools before joining the NFL. Despite the family’s history, Arch’s grandfather, Archie Manning, has a preference for his grandson to play in the NFL for the Dallas Cowboys.
Archie Manning recently expressed his desire for Arch to stay in college for a couple more years, but he would “love to see him play for the Cowboys.” While he doesn’t have direct control over Arch’s professional future, Archie Manning’s influence has been felt in the past, particularly with his son Eli’s NFL draft experience.
The Cowboys, who have not reached a conference championship game since 1995, would be a fitting destination for Arch Manning, given his strong performances this season. The 19-year-old quarterback has thrown for 939 yards, nine touchdowns, and two interceptions, and has also shown his ability to use his legs, rushing for 95 yards and scoring four touchdowns.
Manning’s future will be closely monitored, as he is not eligible for the 2025 NFL Draft. For now, it appears that the Manning family is eager to see Arch’s talents on the professional stage, and a potential move to the Cowboys could be a dream come true for the young quarterback.
