Quarterbacks usually get their tips from coaches, but Arch Manning? His most valuable reminders still come from grandpa and Hall of Famer Archie Manning. Ahead of Texas’ big season, he shared something his grandfather never forgets to tell him, and it’s not any strategy; it’s about staying smart.
“Every call with my grandfather Archie ends with, ‘get down or get out of bounds,’” Arch said, according to Inside Texas. That kind of thing sounds simple, but it can end up saving a season when your QB1 takes fewer hits. Arch also said he wants to be smarter with how he runs this year. He is one of the favourites to win the Heisman Trophy this season, and the pressure of having ‘Manning’ as a surname is already making his time tough even before the season starts.

Of course, he’s still 19 and admitted, “I get kind of nervous in the hotel, but once I’m out there, it’s time to roll.” He said this when asked about playing in a big game.
