Now this would be quite a story.
Long-time NFL writer Gary Myers tweeted a wild but interesting idea Tuesday for the New York Giants to consider.
The plan to fix the Giants: Tank for Arch. Eli’s QB nephew in New Orleans is the #1 high school recruit in the class of 2023. He could be in the draft as early as 2026. That’s a lot of years if tanking for the Giants. But if he’s better than Peyton & Eli, will be worth it.
Arch Manning, a five-star QB prospect, is the son of Cooper Manning, who’s the brother to former Giants star Eli Manning and Pro Football Hall of Famer Peyton Manning. All three are the sons of former NFL quarterback Archie Manning.
USA Today reports Arch Manning’s list of college suitors includes five football powerhouses: Alabama, Clemson, Georgia, Ole Miss and Texas. Eli and Archie went to Ole Miss while Peyton attended Tennessee.
Regardless of his college choice, Arch Manning faces great expectations as part of football’s first family.
Uncle Peyton was a five-time NFL MVP and two-time Super Bowl champion.
Uncle Eli was a two-time Super Bowl MVP.
And grandfather Archie was a two-time Pro Bowl quarterback during 13 seasons in the NFL.
As for the Giants, the team’s new general manager and head coach will have to decide if Daniel Jones, the No. 6 pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, is a franchise quarterback or if a reboot at the position will be necessary at some point.
