Archie Manning Clarifies Viral Comment About Grandson Arch Joining Cowboys

The former NFL quarterback explained his remark was a casual response to a fan and not a serious endorsement for Arch's professional future.

Archie Manning's comment about wanting his grandson, Arch Manning, to play for the Dallas Cowboys went viral after being shared on TikTok.
Manning clarified that the statement was made casually at a sports bar in New Orleans while speaking to a patron and was not intended to be taken seriously.
Arch Manning, currently a sophomore quarterback at the University of Texas, has shown promise with nine passing touchdowns and four rushing touchdowns this season.
Arch is not eligible for the NFL Draft until 2026, and his grandfather emphasized that he will be happy with Arch's professional destination, regardless of the team.
Texas will face Clemson in the first round of the College Football Playoffs on December 21, where Arch may see playing time despite being a backup quarterback.
