INDIANAPOLIS -- Not so long ago, Arch Manning was a freshman in high school starting for his varsity team at Isidore Newman in New Orleans where the scouts were already coming to watch. And Arch, with a rocket arm and an uncanny view of the field, was seemingly golden.
Not so long ago, his grandfather Archie Manning, father of NFL greats Peyton and Eli Manning, was at those games. And he made a comparison.
"He seems to be a little better than Peyton or Eli," Archie told IndyStar in 2019.
The college football world and the NFL -- who will surely be watching -- will soon get to see how good the 6-4, 215-pound quarterback bred from football royalty is.
