Texas Longhorns quarterback Arch Manning seemingly goes viral once or twice a month despite the fact that he's yet to start a college football game.

Manning, who will be the back up Quinn Ewers this fall, is expected to take over as the Longhorns' starting quarterback in 2025 when he's a redshirt sophomore. 

The fact that Manning hasn't played much at Texas so far hasn't stopped NFL fans from being excited about the quarterback with the last name that evokes football royalty. 

Manning won't be eligible for the NFL Draft until 2026 at the earliest, but some fans are already thinking about hearing Arch's name called two years from now. 

And the announcement from the NFL on Wednesday that Pittsburgh will be the host city for the 2026 NFL Draft generated plenty of comments from fans about Arch. 

Here's just a small sample. 

We have no idea how Arch will perform as a quarterback in the SEC, let alone what kind of draft prospect he'll be. But it seems like NFL fans, at least some of them, have already decided that Arch will be the guy in the 2026 NFL Draft. 

It's certainly possible that Arch will be the most coveted player in the 2026 NFL Draft, but it's far from a certainty.
