One NFL scout made a not-so-flattering pro comparison for Texas quarterback Arch Manning heading into the 2026 season. "I see Daniel Jones when I watch him — a good, not great, prospect." Reid went on to say Oregon's Dante Moore is currently the majority pick as the best QB in the 2027 draft class right now. "He was simply trying to do too much early on, but I thought he relaxed around midseason and put some really good stuff on tape," a different NFL scout said to Reid. Whatever team ultimately winds up taking Manning will almost certainly hope he's a better NFL quarterback than Jones.
