Petyon, Eli’s Nephew Arch Manning Reveals Which QB Influences His Game

Arch Manning has the right pedigree to go pro.  He’s the nephew of NFL  legends Peyton and Eli Manning. He’s also the grandson of Archie Manning, who also played in the NFL.  Manning is poised to follow in his family’s footsteps, and barring unforseen injury, it looks like eventually he’ll find his way to the NFL.  Arch recently spoke to 247 sports, and shared other QB’s that have influenced him.

“Obviously I watch my uncles and my grandfather,” Manning said. “They’re the ultimate competitors. I mean the way they go about their business, Peyton the way he attacks the film room and outside of football and then Eli the way he can be clutch and never really get fazed, I look up to that a lot and take after that. My grandfather especially, he’s a little different with the way he played quarterback from his two sons, he can scramble around the pocket and how he kind of respects the game. He’s been around awhile and keeps up with everyone and he’s just a great guy and great guy to have in the football community.”

Other influences include Patrick Mahomes and Trevor Lawrence.

“Just how they impact their own offenses so much,” said Manning. “Mahomes can make every throw on the field with his dramatics and moves around and Trevor he just reminds me a lot of Peyton. He has total command of the offense. Those two things I like to put in my game for sure.

“That’s one thing I’m still working on. I think going into junior year even being more of a leader, I’m just really excited. I want to take full command of the huddle and be a leader on and off the field and the ultimate goal is to win and get the ball in the end zone. That’s what we’re looking for more of.”

Arch could be the next great Manning, and the NFL needs as many Mannings as possible.

Good QB play is what drives the  NFL.

Arch should be in the NFL soon enough, first he has to play some college ball.

“I think this summer will be a good chance to go visit some colleges,” he said. “I’m real excited about that because right now I’m just talking over the phone and just building some relationships. I think it would be good to go visit some campuses. We haven’t made any decisions but I’d like to go check out a lot of colleges. I have no idea where I could end up.
