Despite $3,200,000 Valuation, Grandfather Archie Intervenes to Stop Peyton Manning’s Nephew From Making ‘Undeserved’ Dollars

The era of the Manning brothers is over in the NFL. But as one door closes, another one opens wide with a window of opportunity for the next generation of talents in the Manning family. And taking a step into that window of opportunity is the nephew of Eli and Peyton Manning, Arch Manning. With uncles who were seen as some of the greatest QBs to play in the NFL, the expectations from the 18-year-old are high, as he prepares for his big college debut with the Texas Longhorns, one of the most popular college football teams in the country. 

As the hype around Arch Manning and his college debut increases with each passing day, he might have to wait a bit more before building a fortune for himself financially. And the reason behind this is his own grandfather, Archie Manning 

Arch Manning is not taking NIL money until he achieves this goal

Arch Manning is the nephew of the two greatest QBs to go head to head with NFL GOAT Tom Brady several times on the field. And this reason makes the topic of his football future the talk of the town. Coming in as a five-star no.1 ranked overall ranked recruit, he joined the Texas football program early to participate in the spring drills. And while Arch Manning is definitely one of the most popular college athletes, he has to wait before earning from NIL deals during his college career.

According to a recent Instagram post by college football analyst Adam Breneman, Arch Manning won’t be earning money from NIL deals until he becomes a starter in Texas. Currently, Quinn Ewers is the favorite to start, and the 18-year-old Manning has to prove himself to earn the QB1 position on the team. So why can’t Arch Manning earn through NIL deals until he becomes a starting QB? The reason behind this is his grandfather Archie Manning, who also spent 13 seasons as a QB in the NFL. He said that unless the 18-year-old proves himself worthy to be a college starter, the NIL deals will have to wait before he can earn from them.

While the 18-year-old has to wait on NIL deals, his valuation led to a lot of frenzy among fans back in March.

Fans were left in shock over the NIL valuation of the 18-year-old Manning

Being the nephew of Peyton Manning and Eli Manning, Arch Manning is definitely a popular name in the college football circuit. And this led to him having a jaw-dropping NIL valuation. The 18-year-old has the second-highest NIL valuation, with a whooping worth of $3.7 million. The only person ahead of him is Bronny James, the son of NBA legend LeBron James, who sits at the top with a worth of $7.5 million. This led to a lot of fans calling out nepotism to be a factor in their high NIL values. 

The hopes are riding high on the shoulders of Arch Manning. Can he go on to solidify himself as a great QB like his family lineage? Let us know in the comments below.
