Arch Manning is one of the most-hyped quarterback prospects in recent memory and for good reason.Manning, alongside Oregon’s Dante Moore, lead a loaded 2027 class brimming with potential — and threatening to be the most stacked at the position since 2024.Arch Manning shined in his first season as Longhorns starter and opted to stay for a secondGettyDespite a middling start to the season, Manning is arguably at the top of the class after Moore was carted off the field wearing a neck brace in Oregon’s Week 4 win over USC.The 22-year-old is also from royal NFL quarterback stock, with his uncles, the legendary Peyton and Eli Manning. So far this season Arch has thrown for 862 yards and seven touchdowns for the No. 1 ranked Longhorns.Eli reveals preferred draft destination for Arch Both of his uncles were selected first overall in their respective drafts.Peyton went to the Indianapolis Colts, serving as their starting quarterback from 1998 to 2010, winning one Super Bowl.Eli was traded to the New York Giants from the then-San Diego Chargers on draft night, spending his entire legendary career with Big Blue.Eli won two Super Bowls and still lives in the New York area, but he wouldn’t want to see Arch as the starting quarterback for the Giants.“There’s two ways I look at this,” Manning said in an appearance on Barstools ‘Pardon My Take’ podcast. “For purely selfish reasons, I wouldn’t mind if he went to the Jets, just because I live right there, I could go to games, I could have dinner with him during the week a little bit. “I think it’d be great for him to have some family nearby, so I wouldn’t mind him going to the Jets.“Being up in New York, that’s just my selfish reasons and I think he could help them.”Arch Manning is one of the leading contenders to go No. 1 overall in 2027GettyGiants legend Eli Manning would like to see Arch end up with the New York JetsGettyPressure mounting on Aaron GlennThe Jets enter the 2027 NFL Draft with three first-round picks, easily enough capital to trade up and select Manning, if they so please.Manning would no doubt be the face and future of a Jets franchise, who currently own a 1-3 record with Geno Smith at quarterback.Head coach Aaron Glenn entered the season on one of the NFL’s hottest seats and he hasn’t done much to cool it down.Glenn went 3-14 during his first year, while Gang Green posted the worst point differential (-203) in the NFL.The Jets have weapons on both sides of the ball, which means that another season like 2025 and a potential arrival of Arch could signal the end of his chapter.Despite this, Glenn has openly said he appreciates support from owner Woody Johnson, hinting a move may not be coming soon.The Jets won Week 1, but have lost three on the spin with little offensive outputGetty“[We have] very positive conversations,” Glenn said, via ESPN’s Rich Cimini. “We speak after the games all the time and he gives me his thoughts. I give him the rundown on how things go. “I mean, that’s the beauty of our relationship is being able to have open dialogue with each other, throwing everything on the table. There’s also a trust factor there.”
