Just under 45 years after legendary New Orleans Saints quarterback Archie Manning played his last game for the team, they could draft his grandson to lead them into a new era. Arch Manning has been billed as the savior of whichever franchise is lucky enough to select him with the first overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.
As it turns out, the story may have been too good to be true. The current Texas Longhorn has been underwhelming in his first few games this season, leading to speculation that he could be more than a year away from leaving for the pros.
