Texas Longhorns quarterback Arch Manning recently indulged in a playful critique over a snap taken of him at Manning Passing Academy. He seemingly roasted himself in the latest image shared by Bussin’ With The Boys on Instagram on Monday.
The image showed Manning smiling during the annual quarterback camp while sporting a fitted Manning Passing Academy T-shirt. There was a lot of muscle on those arms, leading to fans praising the quarterback’s athletic build.
However, Manning chose to critique himself. Under the post, he commented:
“Ai I got noodle arms man😢”
The Texas QB’s reply had the word “Ai,” which could mean he was joking that the image was AI-generated. Manning’s reply might also have been a sarcastic dig at fans and analysts who questioned his arm strength last season.
The Manning Passing Academy is a place where elite quarterbacks train during the summer. Arch Manning is preparing to be the next in line of the legendary Manning legacy, and by next year he could join his Super Bowl champion uncles, Peyton and Eli Manning, in the NFL.
Arch Manning’s Grandfather Left Disappointed After Witnessing Unreal Hype for Texas QB
Before the start of the 2025 season, when the Longhorns decided to hand Arch Manning the starting quarterback opportunity, fans started to build unreal expectations for the quarterback. Sportsbooks also tried suggesting that he was the best at his position, listing his name among potential Heisman winners.
However, the quarterback started with a loss against then-defending champions, the Ohio State Buckeyes. While Manning covered well in the second-half of the season, it was not enough to qualify Texas for the College Football Playoff.
Recently, his grandfather, Archie Manning, shared his thoughts on Manning’s first season as the starting signal-caller.
“I was kind of disappointed in a lot of people, the whole thing,” Archie said at the Manning Passing Academy in Thibodaux, Louisiana. “They kind of crowned Arch before he ever played. I just didn’t think that was fair.”
Despite the circumstances, Archie was proud of his grandson.
“I’ve never been more proud of anybody in my life [than] the way Arch battled through what he had to go through last year and the way he played,” added Archie.
As for Arch, he also spoke to the media at the camp and said that his experience from 2025 will only help him do well in the upcoming 2026 season.
