Arch Manning has gotten plenty of attention throughout his high school career thanks in large part to his family’s impressive quarterback bloodlines. However, the Texas commit’s game doesn’t really resemble that of his two famous uncles—Peyton and Eli Manning—too much, Eli told the New York Post Wednesday.
Instead, he plays more like his grandfather Archie Manning, the Ole Miss and Saints legend for whom he was named. While Peyton and Eli were known for their presence in the pocket, their father was known for his elusiveness.
“He’s more athletic than Peyton or I,” Eli said. “Maybe a little bit bigger than Peyton or I, and so I think he’s got the ability to scramble around and run around—probably more similar to my dad [Archie] than Peyton or I.”
