Arch Manning faces mixed reviews after four games in 2026 season

Summary

Texas Longhorns quarterback Arch Manning has received criticism from NFL draft analysts just four games into the 2026 season. Ryan Wilson from CBS Sports stated that Manning has not lived up to pre-season expectations and suggested that he would choose five other quarterbacks ahead of Manning if the NFL draft were held today. Despite Texas remaining undefeated at 4-0, Manning's individual stats of 862 passing yards, seven touchdowns, and three interceptions have not consistently matched the high expectations set for him. Manning has an opportunity to change perceptions in the upcoming game against Oklahoma in the Red River Rivalry.
