Arch Manning to the NFL?! After THIS Season?

The Arch Manning conversation has officially reached a breaking point. After a rocky, up-and-down season at Texas filled with inconsistency, pressure, and national scrutiny, fans everywhere are asking the same question: Should Arch Manning go to the NFL… or return to Texas for another year? In today’s video, we break down everything you need to know about Arch’s development, his draft stock, his performance this season, and what the NFL scouts are really seeing on film.

Despite coming into 2025 with massive expectations, hype, and media attention, Arch Manning’s season has not gone according to plan. From struggles against top-tier defenses to missed reads, questionable decision-making, and the weight of carrying the Manning legacy, the pressure on Arch has never been higher. But does a tough season automatically mean he should stay in college? Or is his physical talent still enough to make him a legitimate NFL prospect right now?

We dive deep into the film, the stats, the context, and the reality of what Arch Manning currently is — and what he could become with another year of college football. We look at how the Texas offense has changed, which pieces around him have helped or hurt his development, and how his play compares to other NFL-bound quarterbacks this season. Is Arch closer to being a first-round talent… or does he need more time to refine his game, build confidence, and elevate the Longhorns before declaring?

We also break down how NFL front offices evaluate quarterbacks like Arch:
• Arm talent vs. decision-making
• Processing speed vs. system fit
• Supporting cast vs. raw ability
• How scouts grade “Manning expectations”
• How bad seasons actually affect draft stock
• Whether the NIL era makes staying more appealing

With Texas still battling through a chaotic season and the Longhorns fanbase divided on Arch’s future, this debate has become one of the biggest storylines in college football. Should Arch head to the 2026 NFL Draft and bet on upside? Or take advantage of another season under Steve Sarkisian to rebuild momentum, sharpen his game, and prove he’s worthy of the Manning legacy?
