NFC scout compares Arch Manning to Daniel Jones ahead of draft

An NFC scout likened University of Texas quarterback Arch Manning to Indianapolis Colts QB Daniel Jones during a discussion about the 2027 draft class. The scout noted Manning, the nephew of Peyton Manning, has potential but lacks proven performance. Manning had a mixed last season, completing 61% of passes for 3,163 yards with 26 touchdowns and seven interceptions. An AFC scout praised Manning's midseason improvement. Jones had a strong start to last season but suffered an Achilles injury, raising questions about his ability to replicate that success.
