Archie Manning Says Grandson Arch 'Ahead' of Peyton and Eli as a Freshman

Eli Manning's benching may not have been the last time football fans see a Manning in the NFL.

"He's probably a little ahead of them as a freshman," Archie Manning said of Isidore Newman School freshman Arch Manning, who is the son of Cooper Manning and nephew of Peyton and Eli Manning.

Dana Hunsinger Benbow of the Indianapolis Star (h/t USA Today) interviewed the freshman's grandfather, who said Arch reminds him of Cooper as an athlete before the eldest of the three Manning brothers had to stop playing sports because of a spinal condition.
