Arch Manning is ready to take us to a storm, both on and off the field. The Texas crown jewel is counting the days to step up as an official QB1 of the Horns on August 30th. Meanwhile, he is taking notes from all the online naysayers who raised red flags over his next stint. It’s good to learn about the flak, after all. You shouldn’t necessarily have to worry, but you can always tighten your armor. The third-generation Manning is working through the unprecedented hype management before he claims the spotlight. But the hype continues to soar. Why wouldn’t it be? Arch is winning the NIL market as well.
When Arch Manning arrived in Texas in 2023, he penned a multi-year NIL deal with Panini America. It was his first partnership, but he would rather not push it too far until he became the Texas poster boy under the center. Finally, the time called for a leap. Over the last few months, Manning’s off-field expertise (magnetic personality, intelligence, deep understanding of the game, heightened communication) has blown away the bar. He didn’t have to put in a lot of effort to bag some lofty, big-money deals. Brands and companies seemed to naturally gravitate toward the irresistible No. 16. As per the ON3 valuation board, his NIL value soared to a whopping $6.5 million.
Now, he is taking a step ahead with his old partnership with Panini America. In a strategic business move, the multinational online store launched Manning’s collection on its website Wednesday, which features autographed photos, jerseys, and helmets. The photos start at $699.99, while the jerseys and helmets both start at $999.99. The Texas Cornerstone revealed the news in an IG post shout-out.
Launching my memorabilia collection with Panini America allows me to share a deeper connection with fans,” Manning said in a statement. “Panini has a long history of working with athletes all over the world for autographed memorabilia and I’m excited to be a part of that group.”
