Arch Manning emerges as top 2027 NFL Draft prospect
Arch Manning, the Texas Longhorns quarterback, is emerging as a high-profile prospect for the 2027 NFL Draft. Standing 6-foot-4 and weighing 219 pounds, Manning is noted for his size, mobility, and natural throwing ability.
Following a strong start to the 2026 season, Manning has recorded 500 passing yards, five touchdowns, and two interceptions through two games. This includes a significant comeback victory against number-one ranked Ohio State, where Texas overcame a 20-point deficit to win 24-23.
While Manning carries the weight of a prominent football lineage as the grandson of Archie Manning and nephew of Peyton and Eli Manning, scouts focus on his professional potential. Evaluators suggest he is currently a top-five draft prospect, though his final draft position will depend on his continued development throughout the remainder of the 2026 season.
