Eli Manning just eased all Jets fans’ concerns about Arch not wanting New York

Eli Manning stated on Barstool Sports' Pardon My Take that he would not mind his nephew, Texas Longhorns quarterback Arch Manning, playing for the New York Jets. The former Giants quarterback explained that having Arch nearby in New York would allow him to attend games and have weekly dinners together, noting that the young quarterback could help the franchise.

The Jet Press argues that these remarks help alleviate concerns that Arch Manning might refuse to play for the Jets in the 2027 NFL Draft. The article notes New York holds three first-round selections and represents a more appealing landing spot due to its developing offensive talent.
