Arch Manning entered the 2025 college football season with a level of hype that probably hasn't been seen in over a decade—perhaps since Tim Tebow took over the sport as a Heisman-winning quarterback at Florida. It probably didn't help matters when Tebow's SEC Network colleague Paul Finebaum declared the young Manning as the best college quarterback since Tebow—comments he's admitted were over the top after a few rough weeks for the Texas QB to begin the year.
Tebow may not have come from a dynastic quarterbacking family, but he has walked in similar shoes to Manning and clearly empathizes with the Longhorns quarterback's plight of the last few weeks. Appearing on The Rich Eisen Show, Tebow shared the message he would give to Manning, repeating a number of times that he needs to "remember the love of the game" above all else.
