“Las relaciones que estableces en preparatoria no simplemente desaparecen,” le dijo Peyton a reporteros el viernes en la Manning Passing Academy. “Por eso me da gusto por él que haya tomado esta decisión. Hablé con él la semana pasada después de su última visita, porque me preguntó de cuando yo tomé mi decisión.

“Solo recuerdo cuando fui a mi última visita, básicamente dije a donde iba a ir dos días después porque ya sabía. Cuando sabes, sabes y no tiene caso tardarse y crear drama.”

Traducción.- Aquí está Peyton Manning hablando del compromiso de su sobrino Arch Manning con Texas @mps_info

Antes de comenzar una carrera de Salón de la Fama de 18 años en la NFL Peyton Manning era el quarterback estrella en Tennessee. Llegó a ser uno de los mejores jugadores en la historia del programa, llevando a los Vols al SEC Championship en 1997 y segundo lugar por el Heisman Trophy.

Con Texas formando parte de SEC a partir del 2025, Arch Manning podría tener la oportunidad de jugar contra Tennessee y contra Ole Miss, que es donde su tío Eli y du abuelo Archie fueron quarterbacks estrella.

The Manning family speaks on Arch’s commitment to Texas

The Manning family is excited about Arch becoming a Longhorn.

Newest Texas football commit Arch Manning is one of the most followed high school recruits in recent memory.

Manning’s commitment has created an insane amount of social media stir. His announcement tweet is nearing three hundred thousand likes in just of 24 hours.

His play in the field is certainly worthy of his five-star rating. Manning has the tools and skillset every college football coach looks for in a quarterback prospect.

The Manning family is already established as football royalty.

Arch is the nephew of super bowl winning quarterbacks Peyton and Eli Manning, as well as the grandson of former All-Pro quarterback for the New Orleans Saints, Archie Manning.

Going to Texas creates an opportunity for Arch to create his own path through college football rather than following his Ole Miss or Tennessee roots. He will get to develop and learn from Steve Sarkisian, one of the best quarterback developers in the sport.

The members of the Manning family spoke about Arch’s decision at the Manning Passing Academy on Friday.

Sooners offer Arch Manning, the number one overall player in the class of 2023

After finally getting their feet under themselves, the Sooners have entered the race for Arch Manning, the consensus number one 2023 player.

After resetting and getting their feet under them, the Oklahoma Sooners appear positioned to look forward to the future in terms of recruiting and player personnel. They still have a lot of loose ends to tie up in regards to their 2022 roster, but with an entire bevy of on-field staff now in order, it’s full steam ahead for Oklahoma.

A major piece to their future is establishing recruiting momentum with this new staff and Oklahoma is looking to do that in a major way. While the previous regime sent him an offer, it’s common practice that a team offers the same player again once a new staff is in order. 

Arch Manning, the consensus number one player in the 2023 recruiting class, received an offer from the Oklahoma Sooners per Manning’s 247 Sports page.

The current offensive staff is led by offensive coordinator Jeff Lebby who is no stranger to Manning and his family. Lebby’s previous stop at Ole Miss put him in prime position to be right in the heart of a battle for Manning’s services. After all, he was the play-caller at Ole Miss, where Manning’s uncle Eli and his grandfather Archie are school legends.

We previously mentioned on the Sooners Wire in the immediate aftermath of Lebby’s hiring, what that could mean for the Sooners in regards to Arch Manning.

As previously mentioned, Oklahoma doesn’t and won’t run a completely pro system at Oklahoma but Manning’s traits, ability to process plays, leadership, and other skills would be fully on display for the NFL world to see if he was to land in Norman.

The Sooners had to offer Manning. He’s too good of a prospect not to receive an offer and Lebby’s foundation with the family gives Oklahoma more than a fighting chance to win his services when combined with how well Lebby’s quarterbacks have looked under his guidance.

A Manning commitment is the type of commitment that could lead to other five-stars and four-stars on both sides of the ball chomping at the bit to join the Sooners. A commitment isn’t guaranteed but the reward far outweighs the risk. And the risk for the Sooners is minimal on the big picture side of things.

Unlike the previous head coach’s recruiting rules, the Sooners don’t seem to care about skipping a year in which they recruit quarterbacks. Under Brent Venables and more specifically with Lebby’s offense, the Sooners look to be in on a quarterback every year, thus keeping them from being hamstrung if a single quarterback transfers.

Take their previous quarterback situation before the arrival via the transfer portal of Dillon Gabriel. Caleb Williams was the starter to end the season in their bowl game. His backup was a walk-on in Ralph Rucker, because the only other scholarship quarterback in Spencer Rattler headed for the transfer portal before the bowl game.

Williams entered the transfer portal just days ago and, for the few hours after, the Sooners had no scholarship quarterback with any collegiate experience. Lebby brought in Gabriel because of their previous time spent together at UCF and was able to flip four-star 2022 QB Nick Evers from Florida, but Lincoln Riley had no plans to ever have a 2022 recruit at quarterback come in before that.

In the 2023 class alone, Jaden Rashada and Jackson Arnold held offers before the offer to Arch Manning was even sent out. Lincoln Riley normally set his sights on one or two guys and eventually went all-in on one and one alone.

Lebby looks to be casting a wider net giving them real flexibility in the long run. Will Manning be the guy if he says he wants in? Yes. However, the Sooners should build relationships with others and not put all their eggs in one basket. And that makes a Manning commitment a luxury they can afford when you have multiple scholarship quarterbacks on your roster already and can survive natural attrition that comes on a year-to-year basis.

While the Arch Manning saga will be one to follow, it seems like one that won’t be solved anytime soon. With a support system filled with quarterbacks, the Mannings as a unit will be calculated and meticulous in their approach as they will want to get this decision right on the first go-round.

In the meantime, we’ll continue to monitor and update you as information rolls in. Buckle up as the Sooners’ race to find their 2023 quarterback could be a ride with a lot of ups and downs.

Are Eli, Peyton Manning angling to buy an NFL team?

Are the Manning family, consisting of Eli, Peyton and Archie, angling to purchase their own NFL franchise?

[mm-video type=playlist id=01eqbx61yex5whq8aq player_id=none image=https://giantswire.usatoday.com/wp-content/plugins/mm-video/images/playlist-icon.png]

Former New York Giants quarterback and two-time Super Bowl MVP, Eli Manning, was plenty successful on the field during his time with the Giants.

Manning’s post-playing career has been no different as Eli hasn’t missed a beat, moving into a role with the Giants as well as his shows, “The Eli Manning Show,” “Eli’s Places” and, of course, “The Manningcast” on ESPN.

Between the two brothers, they are responsible for four Super Bowls. Peyton is also already in the Pro Football Hall of Fame and Eli is likely headed there.

Because of their success on the field, both brothers were paid graciously for their services during their careers and now, are staying plenty busy and surely not missing a beat moneywise due to their spots on numerous commercials and shows on ESPN+ and more.

The Manning brothers were not ones to take pay cuts during their careers and did plenty of endorsements when the opportunities presented themselves. There may have been a reason for that. It may also be the same reason that both Peyton and Eli have stayed so busy during their retirement from the NFL.

Between Eli, Peyton and their father, Archie Manning, the Manning’s may very well be the most successful NFL family. Putting together a bid to own part of an NFL franchise certainly fits the mold as such a football family.

While it’s hard to speculate what franchise may become available to a potential new ownership for the Manning’s to get stake in, they obviously have links to the Giants, New Orleans Saints, Indianapolis Colts and Denver Broncos. Archie also played for the Houston Oilers and Minnesota Vikings. However, he is most well-known for his time with the Saints organization.

The Manning brothers will likely take on media opportunities in the coming years since it comes so natural to them. While they surely enjoy their time that they are putting in to their off the field endeavors, the money may be the motivation to help their family achieve their ultimate goal of one day being a part of an NFL franchise’s ownership team.

Peyton Manning says Super Bowl 44 loss ended his Saints fandom

Peyton Manning says Super Bowl 44 loss ended his Saints fandom

[sendtonews_embed video_id=”AwPvhb3CwD-1636981-7498″]

Fans’ relationships with their teams can be complicated. No one learned that lesson better than Peyton Manning, who grew up in New Orleans as a fan of his father Archie’s Saints. But decades later Manning found himself lining up against the black and gold in Super Bowl XLIV chasing an elusive second championship trophy.

And the interception he tossed to Saints cornerback Tracy Porter, who returned it for a legendary defensive touchdown to put the game out of reach, ended Manning’s Saints fandom. He briefly noted his fractured relationship with his childhood hometown team during Monday night’s “Manningcast” coverage on ESPN of the Giants-Buccaneers game.

“You grew up a Saints fan and you abandoned them,” Eli chided his older brother.

To which Peyton drily replied, “When you lose to them in the Super Bowl, you tend to abandon them.”

That’s understandable, I guess. The years of work Manning put to get into that position ultimately went to waste, and that’s got to be tough to accept. All that negativity is going somewhere, and this case it went towards the team he grew up cheering for. It would be nice to see him feel happy for his dad’s old team on some level, but at the same time he’s allowed to feel a certain way about it. Maybe Manning can reconcile with the Saints some day once he’s not feeling so hot under the collar.

Ole Miss retires Eli Manning’s No. 10

Ole Miss has retired Eli Manning’s No. 10 on a stirring day in Oxford

Ole Miss honored another Manning on Saturday when it faced LSU in an SEC clash.

Eli Manning had his No. 10 retired by the school.

It joined Archie Manning and the late Chucky Mullins as having their numbers honored in such a way.

It was a huge day in Oxford for the former New York Giants QB.

Lane Kiffin paid homage as he got off the team bus.

Here’s something you don’t see every day. Iconic New Orleans Saints quarterback Archie Manning will be presenting his son Peyton for enshrinement to the Pro Football Hall of Fame soon, but before that he got the honor of putting a gold jacket on his son’s shoulders. The “golden moment” was shared on social media ahead of the weekend’s festivities.

Manning’s relationship with his father runs deep — he described the decision to have his father introduce him as “just a no-brainer” in a statement through the Hall of Fame earlier this summer. Manning won two Super Bowls in his storied NFL career, and he might have had three titles to his credit had his dad’s old team not stolen his thunder in Super Bowl XLIV with an all-time clutch interception returned for a touchdown by defensive back Tracy Porter. Such a shame.

Because the 2020 centennial class’ induction was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, those new Hall of Famers will be enshrined first on Saturday, Aug. 7. Fans can tune in for the 2021 enshrinement ceremony featuring the Mannings on Sunday, Aug. 8, at 6 p.m. CT. Manning will enter the Hall of Fame alongside Alan Faneca, Tom Flores, Calvin Johnson, John Lynch, Bill Nunn, Drew Pearson and Charles Woodson.

Devonta Freeman picks new Saints jersey number, Tommylee Lewis changes again

The Saints assigned Devonta Freeman a new jersey number, while Tommylee Lewis has picked his fifth different number in black and gold:

[mm-video type=playlist id=01eqbyahgz6p2j3xp7 player_id=none image=https://saintswire.usatoday.com/wp-content/plugins/mm-video/images/playlist-icon.png]

Devonta Freeman had a problem. Beyond going turncoat in the infamous Atlanta Falcons-New Orleans Saints rivalry, he had to pick a new jersey number — all of his previous choices were unavailable. He wore No. 24 with the Falcons (claimed by backup running back Dwayne Washington) and No. 31 on the New York Giants (already taken by undrafted defensive back Bryce Thompson), and the wrong choice could kill his chances of making the team before he even took the field for practice. After all, everyone knows your jersey’s aesthetics are more important than actual skill and ability. Right?

Anyway: Freeman took No. 34, which was previously assigned to rookie running back Stevie Scott III. Scott is now wearing No. 39, which doesn’t bode well for his chances of making the cut. That number hasn’t been right since Brandon Browner used it on an infamously-terrible Saints defensive effort. Freeman was eligible to wear No. 8, which he used in college at Florida State, but the Saints must have told him that wasn’t an option. Archie Manning remains the only player in franchise history to use it.

The same can’t be said for Marques Colston’s No. 12 jersey, though. That was snatched up by recently re-signed wideout Tommylee Lewis, who had previously picked No. 6. But when Marquez Callaway switched to No. 1 (freeing up No. 12), Lewis picked his fifth jersey with the Saints, adding to his past stints in Nos. 87, 11, 14, and 6. He never actually wore No. 6 — Alvin Kamara did, though — but it does work as a footnote to his Saints career.

So what gives? Why are the Saints bending over backwards to protect Manning’s legacy as the third-best quarterback in team history behind Drew Brees and Aaron Brooks? His jersey is off-limits but Colston’s isn’t as the greatest receiver to ever wear the fleur-de-lis? If that’s the case, Lewis may as well lean into it and take Brees’ vacated No. 9 while he’s here on his fourth or fifth tour.

This weird decision continues on with other jersey numbers for Pro Football Hall of Famers like Rickey Jackson’s No. 57 (assigned to long-shot linebacker Noah Spence) and Willie Roaf’s No. 77 (currently worn by backup defensive tackle Jalen Dalton). Even Steve Gleason’s iconic No. 37 is still in circulation (with practice squad running back Tony Jones Jr.). The Saints have given more respect to Manning than to much more deserving and better-accomplished players, and, at best, it’s weird.
