Texas QB Manning says NFL plans not taking shape yet despite grandpa's prediction of 2026 in Austin
AUSTIN, Texas -- There's so much speculation about Texas quarterback Arch Manning's future, in the media and even within his own family, that it can be hard for him to keep up. On Tuesday, Manning insisted he's not plotting out how long he'll stay at Texas or when he'll enter the NFL draft, despite his grandfather's recent prediction to Texas Monthly magazine that he'll be with the Longhorns through the 2026 season. 'I don't know where he got that from,' Arch Manning said in his first meeting with reporters since SEC media days in mid-July. 'He texted me to apologize about that. I'm really just taking it day by day right now.' Arch Manning has been careful while talking about his future as he leads the No. 1 Longhorns as the full-time starter after playing behind Quinn Ewers the past two seasons. Manning enters this season as the early favorite for the Heisman Trophy, has endorsement deals worth millions and comes from the most famous quarterbacking family in football. Grandfather Archie played in the NFL and uncles Peyton and Eli combined for four Super Bowl victories. Add that together and Arch Manning is shouldering the biggest spotlight of any player in the country. Texas opens the season Aug. 30 at No. 3 Ohio State after losing to the Buckeyes in the national playoff semifinals last season. Manning is also very close to his grandfather, despite any confusion about whether he's destined for one or two seasons as the Texas starter before heading to the NFL. Manning noted Tuesday how Archie is always giving him advice on how to avoid taking big hits to prolong his career. 'Those hits add up,' Arch Manning said. 'My grandfather, he's hobbling around these days. He ends every call with 'get down or get out of bounds.''

Mekhi Becton back at practice for Chargers
There was a positive development for the Chargers offensive line on Tuesday. Reporters at the team's practice shared images of right guard Mekhi Becton in uniform and on the field with his teammates. Becton had missed the last several weeks of practice with an undisclosed injury and there was little indication from the team's coaches about when he'd back. The timing of Becton's return bodes well for the likelihood that he'll be in the lineup in Brazil against the Chiefs on the first Friday of the regular season. The Chargers signed Becton to a two-year contract after he started for the Eagles in their Super Bowl win over Kansas City. Assuming Becton is good to go, the only change to the Chargers' desired starting line will be the absence of left tackle Rashawn Slater. Slater is out for the season with a knee injury, so Joe Alt is moving over from right tackle and Trey Pipkins is in line to start next to Becton.

Arch Manning refutes grandfather's prediction that QB will stay at Texas next season: 'I don't know where he got that from'
In August, former New Orleans Saints quarterback Archie Manning told NFL teams they shouldn't tank for his grandson, Texas quarterback Arch Manning, ahead of the 2026 NFL Draft. Archie made it clear Arch had no intention of leaving Texas after the 2025 season, saying Arch will "be at Texas." Turns out, Archie may have spoken out of turn. When asked about those comments Tuesday, Arch said he wasn't sure where his grandfather got that idea. The Texas quarterback added that he's "just taking it day-by-day for now." That's probably a wise move. Given his pedigree — and his family — big things are expected from Manning as he steps into the starting role at Texas. While he wasn't the team's top option as a freshman, Manning flashed plenty of potential last season, throwing nine touchdowns against two interceptions in 10 games. That was enough to boost fan and scout excitement for the 2025 season. Though he lacks the experience of other players, Manning is already the favorite to go No. 1 overall in the 2026 NFL Draft. He would have to commit to the draft in order for that to happen, leading many to speculate on his plans. While it's possible Manning would want to remain at Texas after this season, the allure of being the top pick in the NFL Draft might be too enticing to pass up. There are plenty of factors in play that will determine whether Manning decides to enter the draft. If he plays well enough to be worth the No. 1 overall pick, Manning could make the decision based on which team holds that selection in the draft. The Manning family has turned down NFL teams in the past, with Eli Manning telling the then-San Diego Chargers not to take him with the first overall pick. The Chargers did select Manning, but traded him to the New York Giants in exchange for Philip Rivers. If Arch Manning struggles, he may opt to return to school and rebuild his value for the 2027 NFL Draft. All of that is unknowable now, which is likely why Manning is keeping his options open. Texas fans may be disappointed that Manning won't commit to the team beyond this season, but they had to see it coming given the level of hype surrounding Manning since he first committed to the program.
