In the wake former New Orleans Saints QB Archie Manning declaring that Texas QB Arch Manning will not be coming out in next year's NFL Draft, there have been a lot of different reactions. But one fanbase might have had the perfect overall reaction to the news.

Various way-too-early 2026 NFL mock drafts have included Texas quarterback Arch Manning in the first round, which means the first-year starter for the Longhorns would have to leave school a year early for that to come to fruition.

Regardless of whether Arch Manning remains in college for his senior season, next year’s draft is considered deep at quarterback. Clemson’s Cade Klubnik, LSU’s Garrett Nussmeier, South Carolina’s LaNorris Sellers and Penn State’s Drew Allar are among the top prospects.
