Robert Griffin III Delivers Blunt Criticism of Texas QB Arch Manning as NFL Pick

Former Heisman Trophy winner Robert Griffin III offered his honest assessment of Texas QB Arch Manning as a top NFL Draft pick.

Robert Griffin III, a former Heisman Trophy winner, has recently criticized Texas quarterback Arch Manning on The Colin Cowherd Show. Griffin believes that while Manning possesses the ability to make plays with his legs when the play breaks down, he still struggles with the pressure of performing at a high level every game due to the high expectations that come with being a highly ranked prospect.

Griffin thinks Manning should return for another year to further develop his skills before making a leap to the NFL. Manning, who has played well so far this season, leading the Texas Longhorns to a 4-0 start and a No. 1 ranking in the nation, has thrown for 862 yards and seven touchdowns, but has also committed three interceptions and been sacked 10 times.

Despite the criticism, he has guided his team to numerous successful fourth-quarter comebacks. Currently, Manning is projected to be the fifth overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft by Tankathon.
