Chris Long Pitches Virginia to Arch Manning After Visit

Five-star quarterback Arch Manning took a surprise visit to Virginia Friday and a former Cavaliers player decided to try and recruit the top prospect.

During the Green Light with Chris Long podcast, Long made a comical—and somewhat desperate—case for Manning to choose Virginia.

“We want you [Manning] to come to Charlottesville, man,” Long said. “First off, you will definitely be able to walk around here and not get bothered. We offer you unlimited access to Studio J., all the Spindrifts in the fridge, any time.”

Long also added he’d pay Manning $500 an hour to babysit his children.
