Arch Manning is hoping someday he'll be talked about as one of the greatest players to every step on the gridiron. In the meantime, he has revealed his list for the top five quarterbacks of all-time.
Unsurprisingly, Arch's list included his two uncles, Peyton and Eli. Just about every analyst in the world has Peyton Manning ranked in the top five, and rightfully so. We're talking about a five-time MVP with two Super Bowl rings and 14 Pro Bowl trips under his belt. Eli's résumé isn't as stacked, but he did defeat Tom Brady in the Super Bowl twice. That has to count for something.
Speaking of Brady, he was the first quarterback that Manning mentioned when listing his top five quarterbacks. The seven-time Super Bowl champion has been considered the "G.O.A.T." for roughly a decade. That won't change anytime soon.
The final two spots on Arch's list belong to one of the all-time passing leaders and perhaps the most talented quarterback to ever play.
Here are the top five quarterbacks of all-time, according to Arch Manning:
The Texas quarterback provided a brief explanation for his list. He said he went with these five legends because "they’re all dogs, got completions, were winners and were just pros all around.”

From a championship standpoint, Brees is the only quarterback on this list without multiple Super Bowl rings. He does, however, rank in the top two of just about every statistical category. We also can't forget he revitalized the New Orleans Saints when he got there in 2006.
As for Mahomes, this seems like a no-brainer. He's one win away from already being a four-time Super Bowl champion before turning 30 years old.
If Arch Manning ends up having a career similar to any of these quarterbacks, he'll go down as a Hall of Famer.
For now, Manning will try his best to lead Texas to a national championship. He finished the 2024 season with 939 passing yards, 108 rushing yards, 13 total touchdowns and two interceptions.
Do you agree with Arch's top five quarterbacks?
