The Texas Longhorns are ready to return to the college football playoff after missing it last season. Texas, and quarterback Arch Manning in particular, finished the campaign strong, capping things off with a bowl win over the Michigan Wolverines.<\/p>\n
Manning will be entering his senior season and is expected to be one of the first to hear his name called in the 2027 draft. However, one member of sports media thinks that his family, which includes legendary quarterbacks Eli and Peyton Manning, will ensure that he doesn\u2019t go to one team in particular.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll tell you this, Jet fans. I hate to give you this a year in advance, and it will probably make you hate the Mannings more if you\u2019re a Jet fan and you hate the Mannings already, because remember, Peyton didn\u2019t want to play for the Jets. They will not let Arch Manning play for the Jets,\u201d Mike Francesa said, according to Awful Announcing. \u201cI\u2019m telling you right now, they will manipulate the draft, they will never let him get drafted by the Jets. You can take that to the bank.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m telling you right now, a year in advance, I don\u2019t know where he\u2019s gonna wind up next year, he\u2019s gonna be the first player picked unless something drastic happens. But he\u2019s not gonna go to the Jets. The Jets aren\u2019t gonna wind up with Arch Manning, it\u2019s not gonna happen. It\u2019s not going to happen under any circumstances; that family will not allow it. I\u2019m telling you, they will not allow it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fans reacted to Francesca on social media.<\/p>\n
\u201cDuh lol. If Eli wasn\u2019t going to play in sunny San Diego under Schottenheimer with LT, there\u2019s no way Arch is going to the Jets lol,\u201d one fan wrote on Twitter.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis was my first thought\u2026.if the Jets get the first pick, does Arch go back to college or play hardball\u2026..and some of you youngsters weren\u2019t around when Eli came out,\u201d another fan added.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf the Mannings were to do something like this, what\u2019s to stop every draft pick from doing the same thing? This isn\u2019t the early 2000s. Way too much scrutiny and money at stake. Lawsuits will be flying,\u201d someone else wrote.<\/p>\n
It\u2019ll be interesting to see how things play out in 2027.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Texas Longhorns are ready to return to the college football playoff after missing it last season.
