What did Arch Manning’s performance at Ohio State mean for his NFL Draft outlook?

Arch Manning’s long-awaited (and much-hyped) 2025 debut turned out to be a showcase instead for defending national champion Ohio State’s defense. Manning, the consensus Heisman favorite entering Week 1, struggled to solve new Buckeyes defensive coordinator Matt Patricia’s scheme. He finished 17-of-30 passing for 170 yards, a late touchdown and an interception — plus 38 yards rushing — in a 14-7 loss.

His TD pass was a thing of beauty.

In the Shoe, no less.

He was not impressive. Took too long getting rid of the ball and was outplayed by the OSU QB.

No it’s his third year in college, he’s been the backup to Quinn Ewers for the last two years, he started a game or two last season when Ewers was injured

You find out what you have in the last 2 mins of a game. He panicked.

Matt Patricia has better NFL prospects than Arch.

Texas lost about the same number, but both teams are really good and I wouldn’t be surprised to see them in the playoff again.

Truthfully, I would be surprised to see the Buckeyes in the playoffs. There are a lot of good teams out there. This was just one game. There’s a whole lot of season left.

LOL- a sad attempt to not answer a question after your bold statement so let me ask again; which scouts have a different opinion on Manning compared to those on this thread who claims he sucks??

Oh yeh- i didn’t come close to claiming Manning sucks- in fact i laughed at people who went over the edge on today from my first post...i also laughed at your claim the Texas receivers looked “slow” when Wingo was anything but....

Texas has one receiver who has a great time in the 100 yard dash. Great! How about the other receivers? Slow. BTW, just because someone runs a fast 100 yard dash doesn’t mean they have break away speed on a football field. there have been numerous articles quoting pro football scouts, who are very high on arch Manning. I suggest we wait about seven or eight games before we go making judgments on this young man’s ability.

LOL- did you watch the game??? Obviously not because even the simplest of minds could easily see the Ohio State DB’s could not stay with Wingo- even the broadcasters commented as much as the guy translates his track speed onto the football field...they also couldn’t stay with the tight end, Jack Endries, who Manning failed to target enough....

“there have been numerous articles quoting pro football scouts, who are very high on arch Manning. “

Link one...i’ll wait....

” I suggest we wait about seven or eight games before we go making judgments on this young man’s ability.”

LOL- read post #3 and see who posted it.... i’ll wait some more....
