ESPN NFL Draft analyst Matt Miller stirred the pot with a bold prediction: Arch Manning, who is the grandson of Archie Manning and nephew to NFL legends Peyton and Eli Manning, might not declare for the NFL Draft until 2028.

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.”

Arch Manning is the betting favorite to be the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. The Texas QB has been suggested by some that he'll actually stay in school until the 2027 draft. But there's a timeline issue even greater than that which very few people have mentioned yet.
