Arch Manning drops beautiful deep ball that shows why NFL scouts are so high on Texas QB
One throw offered a glimpse of the arm talent that could eventually take Manning to the NFL
A rch Manning has spent most of his football life surrounded by enormous expectations. Sometimes, though, it only takes one throw to understand where some of that excitement comes from.
The Texas quarterback dropped a beautiful deep ball into his receiver's hands, combining arm strength with the touch needed to put the football exactly where it had to be . Manning gave his receiver a chance to keep running rather than forcing him to slow down or make a major adjustment, making a difficult throw look remarkably comfortable.
Arch Manning's deep ball is becoming one of his most intriguing weapons
That particular ability has caught the attention of NFL evaluators . One NFL scout reportedly described Manning's deep ball as “one of his best” traits as a prospect, an interesting assessment for a quarterback whose physical tools have been discussed since before he became Texas' full-time starter.
Manning certainly has the pedigree. He is the grandson of former NFL quarterback Archie Manning and the nephew of Super Bowl champions Peyton and Eli Manning.
But the family name can only carry a quarterback so far . Every throw, decision and performance will ultimately be judged on what Arch himself puts on tape.
And there is still plenty for him to prove. Manning has the arm talent, athleticism and size that NFL teams look for, but his development at Texas will determine just how high his professional ceiling really is.
The NFL conversation surrounding him isn't going away, especially when he produces throws like this.
