Arch Manning is finally QB1 at Texas, and the spotlight is burning bright. But while fans are already projecting him as a 2026 first-round pick, some respected NFL analysts are telling everyone to pump the brakes.

PFF’s Max Chadwick and Dalton Wasserman: “Texas’ new star quarterback will have high expectations heading into 2025, but he played well in limited action last season. Across 233 snaps, including two starts, Manning posted an 88.0 PFF overall grade with six big-time throws and two turnover-worthy plays.”

Following the conclusion of the 2025 NFL Draft, insider Matt Miller delivered a powerful reminder about how Arch Manning's time to get drafted could be further away than some anticipate.
