"Sounds legendary"- CFB world hails $3.1 NIL-valued Arch Manning after Giants Legend Victor Cruz poses interesting question

Arch Manning's uncle, Eli Manning, was the starting quarterback for the New York Giants for almost two decades. One of Eli Manning's favorite targets in New York was the rapid Victor Cruz, who was a special pass catcher, and he possessed all the tools to ensure that he dominated the Gridiron for a while.

During the 2024 college football season, Cruz posed an interesting question in an interview with FOX News Digital. He said:

"So, the question is, if I'm a Giants GM if I'm John Mara if I'm those guys up top, do I want Arch Manning?"

College football fans took to X to voice their opinions:

A fan said, "A very good player."

Another added, "Victor Cruz knows talent—should we trust his Manning vision?"

However, some fans weren't as enthusiastic. They said:

Another said, "Get Kaepernick."

Another added, "No impact"

How has Arch Manning performed in 2024?

Arch Manning plays for the Texas Longhorns, and he's attempting to become the third-generation Manning to play in the National Football League.

His grandfather Archie Manning played for the New Orleans Saints, Houston Oilers, and Minnesota Vikings in the 70s and 80s and earned multiple Pro Bowl nods. His uncle Peyton Manning is a Hall of Famer following an uber-successful career that saw him win two Super Bowl rings and five MVP awards.

Arch's other uncle, Eli Manning, recently got shortlisted for potential enshrinement into the Hall of Fame Class of 2025. He, too, is a two-time Super Bowl champion.

Arch Manning has played in six games for the Texas Longhorns in the 2024 season. He has compiled a stat line of 939 passing yards, nine touchdowns, and two interceptions for the season. Manning has achieved all of this as Quinn Ewers' primary backup on the Longhorns.

The New Orleans, LA-born collegiate star is one of the most popular names in college football. Compared to his famous uncles, he has a unique playing style.

Arch is a dual-threat quarterback with the ability to launch the ball or go for a lung-tasking run. Manning will be poised to take over the starting role for the Longhorns as soon as Ewers takes his talents to the NFL.

It'll be interesting to see how the latest Manning talent operates as the QB1 in a Steve Sarkisian offense.
