On March 25th, the University of Texas held its pro day, featuring 21 players, a notable increase from the school’s combine representation. Among the NFL personnel present was Los Angeles Rams general manager Les Snead, who was actively scouting the next wave of potential NFL stars. The Longhorns’ pro day offered a glimpse into the future of Texas football in the professional ranks.
These events offer NFL general managers, coaches, and scouts an invaluable opportunity to assess talent firsthand. While numerous players impressed, Arch Manning, despite his ineligibility for the upcoming draft, captured significant attention.

Manning, currently entering his second year at Texas after redshirting in 2023, has had limited on-field experience. Nevertheless, he is already generating considerable buzz within the football community.
Les Snead, known for his keen eye for emerging talent, is among those intrigued by Manning’s potential. As Matthew Stafford’s career nears its conclusion, the Rams are intensifying their search for a long-term quarterback solution.
Manning, widely projected as a top pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, will lead the Longhorns this season, providing him with a pivotal opportunity to solidify his status as one of the nation’s elite quarterbacks.
For the Rams, while not an immediate need, the search for Stafford’s successor is gaining momentum. Manning’s performance in the upcoming season will be closely monitored as Los Angeles begins to evaluate potential franchise quarterbacks.
