However, from Week 8 on, Manning’s performance improved dramatically. He completed 146 of 245 passes for 1,846 yards, 14 touchdowns, and two interceptions. This improvement has sparked discussions about his potential in the NFL.

Manning’s ability to move within the pocket and his poise under pressure are notable strengths. He completed 45 of 97 passes for 609 yards, seven touchdowns, and one interception when under pressure. Additionally, his mobility and ability to make plays outside the pocket are assets that could serve him well in the NFL.

While Manning still needs to develop his skills, particularly in terms of optimal velocity and reading defenses, his potential is undeniable. As the 2027 NFL draft approaches, Manning is likely to be a top prospect, and his performance will be closely watched by scouts and fans alike.
