It’s Arch Manning’s time to shine for the Texas Longhorns, but before him it was Quinn Ewers’. Manning took time to wish his quarterback bro a happy 22nd birthday on Saturday as Ewers prepares for the 2025 NFL Draft in April.

Ewers spent the last three seasons at Texas after transferring from the Ohio State Buckeyes, and he led the Longhorns to the College Football Playoff semifinal game where Texas would fall to the eventual champion Buckeyes.

While Ewers finished his career with 36 games played while going 737 of 1,135 passing for 9,128 yards, 68 touchdowns and 24 interceptions, the hype around Peyton Manning and Eli Manning’s nephew Arch has been real. At just 19, Manning passed for 930 yards and nine touchdowns as well as four scores on the ground as Ewers’ backup.

The new starter wished the old one a happy birthday with the message, “Happy bday @quinn_ewers thanks for being a good guy.”

How touching.

While Ewers is projected to be a mid-round pick by many mocks (but as high as the second round), Manning could be the next Peyton and Eli and go No. 1 overall in the future.
