yeah, I was more or less rejecting out to half court the notion that Arch and the Mannings operate in the same manner as what is typical of modern day college football players.
Let's go down the list:
1. The kid literally refused to accept college offers when they were given to him. There's a story of Ed Orgeron offering him when he was a high school freshman or sophomore and Arch responding with "I'm sorry, sir I'm not accepting any offers"
2. Didnt't go to any of the typical rivals, 247, under armor, or elite 11 camps
3. First tweet was to announce his commitment to UT and has barely tweeted since.
4. Didnt accept NIL to start off his career.
The list goes on and on. So all the people who traffic in the internet fodder about him or who predicted that he would transfer or leave after 1 year of playing haven't been paying attention and are totally off the mark. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if he stayed 3 years, but one thing's for certain there's a much greater chance of him staying 3 than there is of him leaving after 1 year of starting.
