Archie Manning Hopes Grandson Arch Finds Future with the Cowboys

Dallas is buzzing with excitement after former NFL quarterback Archie Manning expressed a surprising preference for his grandson, Arch Manning’s future in the league. Archie, who has witnessed the highs and lows of football through his own career and those of his sons, Eli and Peyton, stated that he hopes Jason will eventually land with the Cowboys.

Archie Manning, who starred at Ole Miss and enjoyed a successful career with the New Orleans Saints, wishes for Arch, currently a redshirt freshman at Texas, to thrive in college before making his way to the NFL. “I hope he’ll play three years at Texas, I hope he’ll play three more years,” Archie shared enthusiastically.

The Cowboys are currently set at quarterback with Dak Prescott, who recently signed a record-setting deal that keeps him in Dallas until 2028. However, Archie believes that having Prescott could offer Arch a valuable chance to develop his skills, perhaps stepping in after a few years. Arch Manning has shown impressive performance this season, playing in seven games with the Longhorns. He has completed nearly 68% of his passes, scoring 9 touchdowns against just 2 interceptions. His career-high performance included throwing for 325 yards and 2 touchdowns in a convincing win over Mississippi State.

As he stands on the brink of a promising football career, Arch Manning is following in the footsteps of his family’s legacy in the sport. His grandfather had to navigate a challenging path as a player on a struggling Saints team but managed to earn Pro Bowl honors. His father, Peyton, is a two-time Super Bowl champion and five-time league MVP, while Eli also boasts two Super Bowl titles, both with MVP recognitions.

With the College Football Playoff nearing, the Longhorns are poised to make a significant impact, and fans will be eagerly watching to see how Arch develops in the coming years. The speculation about his future and the intriguing possibility of a Manning wearing Cowboys blue certainly adds a layer of excitement to the NFL landscape.
