The Next Manning

Nice article on The Athletic about the next Manning who is in high school

Quote:

Arch Manning is not most high school quarterbacks. He is the progeny of football royalty, the latest descendant of New Orleans’ first family of football. He’s the next Manning: the son of Cooper, grandson of Archie and nephew of Peyton and Eli.

And in his first year of varsity competition, Newman’s precocious 15-year-old freshman isn’t just fulfilling the considerable expectations of his family’s football legacy. He’s exceeding them.

Yes.

Can you imagine... Â

the immense pressure that kid is going to be under? For as long as he plays, he'll have to be compared to his grandfather and uncles... I hope (and assume) part of his training includes dealing with all of that pressure.

Who cares? Â

There is nothing like it in sports anywhere.

It would be like if Ken Griffey Jr had a younger brother who also happened to have a HOF career.
