Texas's Steve Sarkisian on the similarities between Arch Manning and Archie Manning

Speaking this week with ESPN's Pete Thamel, Steve Sarkisian said that quarterback Arch Manning seems to have more in common with his grandfather Archie Manning than with his famous uncles Peyton and Eli Manning:

"When you watch him throw, the arm talent and the deep ball is there. Then you watch him move, and you're like, 'Wait, this guy's a better athlete than I thought.' Definitely got grandpa's gene. It's not the uncles, he got grandpa's gene."

Arch Manning is set to have his first season at Texas as a starter. Over the last two years, he sat behind Quinn Ewers and took over for him for a couple of weeks due to an injury suffered by the starter.
