QB Deep Dive: Arch Manning scouting report, Weighted On-Target Percentage profile, and overall thoughts
Overrated or underrated?
There seems to be no middle ground on 2027 NFL Draft potential first overall pick and Texas quarterback, Arch Manning.
Some stand firm that he is worthy of the hype that he has received since high school, carrying the last name that he does. Others find him completely overrated and feel he wouldn’t be nearly as touted if he did not carry the last name that he does.
Why not throw my opinion into the mix as well?
Entering his second season as the starting quarterback of the Longhorns, the expectations are high for Manning, who currently sits as the consensus QB1 on the early consensus board. While his season started slow in 2025, how did he play down the stretch? And is that play down the stretch more indicative of who he is as a prospect?
So, here is a deep dive on the highly touted Manning, including a ball placement and charting profile, full scouting report, and more.
I usually attach a Live Charting video breakdown to these as well, but I did one on Arch Manning to start the season. You can find that breakdown below:
