Arch Manning's Reported NIL Valuation In 2023 Is More Than What Multiple Starting NFL QBs Make

Arch Manning reportedly has a higher earning potential slinging passes in Austin than some starting quarterbacks in the NFL.

Manning spent the majority of the season as QB3 for the Texas Longhorns, and ultimately ended up redshirting after just playing a handful of snaps. He's now QB2 and the clear heir apparent to Quinn Ewers after Maalik Murphy transferred out.

How much did the next Manning QB make to ride the bench and rarely ever see the field for the Longhorns? His NIL valuation and earnings estimate is at staggering $3.2 million in NIL cash this season, according to Chris Law.

Arch Manning has higher NIL earnings ceiling than several starting NFL QBs.

For comparison, below is a list of notable QBs who have started games this season who earned less in 2023 than Texas' third string QB's valuation:

That's at least a dozen quarterbacks who started games in the NFL this season, including multiple guys locked in as QB1, making less money than what Arch Manning is believed to be valued at in 2023 to not even play.

His stats on the year are 30 yards on 2-of-5 passing and seven rushing yards on three carries. Arch's valuation is nearly $100,000 for every passing yard he had this season.

That's one hell of a deal if you can get it.

The good news for Arch is he's slated to be the starter for Texas in 2025 once Ewers is gone following his 2024 return as expected.

If he had a valuations in the millions to not play and ride the pine all season, just stop and think about how much money might be waiting for him once he's QB1 and the face of the team.

How much do we think? Six million dollars? Ten million dollars? He doesn't need the money, but it sure would be nice.
