Archie Manning says Arch 'isn't going to' leave Texas for 2026 NFL Draft
Don't be shocked if Arch Manning spends more than one season as the starter at Texas. The redshirt sophomore enters the 2025 season as the Heisman favorite and a ton of expectations as he takes over the starting quarterback job from Quinn Ewers. If Manning has an excellent season, he's seen as the possible No. 1 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. If he leaves school. In an interview with Texas Monthly for a feature on his grandson, Archie Manning said that he expected Arch to be at Texas in 2026. From Texas Monthly: "As the season approaches, many of the same people who have already awarded Arch the Heisman and the national championship are predicting that he will also be the number one NFL draft choice in 2026. Stories abound about how NFL teams could position themselves to get him, though there is no reason to believe he would leave Texas next year, with or without a championship ring. His grandfather says he hasn't discussed it with Arch, but he knows his grandson: 'Arch isn't going to do that. He'll be at Texas.' The Mannings are buying exactly none of this hype. It feels, to them, like a setup. 'People are saying he's a Heisman candidate,' said Archie, the scorn building in his voice. 'You're not a Heisman Trophy candidate when you haven't played but three games. It's crazy.' Since the 2025 season is Manning's third in Austin, he's eligible for the draft next season. And even though he's only played part-time — and only started when Ewers missed time due to an oblique injury in 2024 — the rumor mill has already run wild regarding the Cleveland Browns' alleged interest in drafting him next season. But there are myriad reasons why it makes sense for Manning to stay in school for another year. His uncles Peyton and Eli didn't leave school after their third seasons for the NFL. Peyton sent four seasons at Tennessee and was second in the Heisman voting to Charles Woodson in 1997. Eli spent four seasons at Ole Miss and was third in the Heisman voting in 2003. Both were No. 1 overall picks in the NFL Draft. Peyton and Eli also stayed in school during a time where college athletes were officially prohibited from making money off their name and image rights. Arch is already cashing in at Texas with numerous endorsement deals and can continue to make even more money in a fourth season with the Longhorns. Plus, another year of development under a coach like Steve Sarkisian can also be a significant benefit for Manning's NFL future. Sarkisian is known as one of the most innovative offensive minds in college football and has experience as an NFL offensive coordinator. While it wouldn't be a total shock if Manning left Texas after the season — especially if the Longhorns win the title and he wins the Heisman — it doesn't seem wise to pencil him in at the top of next year's draft.

Why Bears fans should be rooting for Tyrique Stevenson to win CB2 job
The Chicago Bears have a handful of positional battles going on at training camp, including the battle for the second cornerback spot opposite Pro Bowler Jaylon Johnson. With Johnson nursing a leg injury suffered while training before camp, it's been a duo of Tyrique Stevenson and Nahshon Wright running with the starters (with Terell Smith rotating in with Stevenson at times). In Johnson's absence, Wright has been great. Stevenson hasn't been bad by any means, but Wright has been noticeable, which has created a competition between the two. Earlier this summer, defensive coordinator Dennis Allen proclaimed the job is 'completely up for grabs'. As camp progresses, that becomes increasingly believable. With that said, it's fair to root for Stevenson to win the job ahead of Week 1. If you believe that a football team has the best chance to win when they start their most talented players, then you'd like to see Stevenson out there in Week 1's tilt against the Minnesota Vikings. He's the second-most talented cornerback on the roster after Johnson. Did Stevenson make a bad mistake on the Hail Mary play against the Washington Commanders? Of course, he did. Matt Eberflus didn't do a good enough job holding him accountable for it either. As we've seen in training camp so far this summer, however, Ben Johnson is a different kind of head coach. He's holding everyone accountable, and that includes Stevenson. Don't think the new head coach or defensive coordinator doesn't know what happened last year. There is a higher standard going forward. It's good to see that Stevenson has to earn the trust of the new coaching staff. It's on him to take that job and run with it. As far as getting the best talent on the field for as many snaps as possible, Stevenson fits the mold better than anybody in the cornerback room, except for Jaylon Johnson.
