Eli Manning showed his nephew Arch Manning how a professional does things in a fun juggling competition he shared on his Twitter account. The incoming Texas quarterback got called out by his uncle on the post, while Eli mocked him as a “rookie” while out-juggling him.

Arch Manning loses to Eli Manning in juggling contest

The Manning family is no stranger to competition and family rivalry, as both Eli and brother Peyton Manning played against each other in the NFL — with major big brother and little brother teasing happening on and off the field.

Eli was given a chance to be the “big brother” for a change as he embarrassed his nephew with his juggling skills, with a fun look at how it must be to have two uncles and a grandfather who had successful NFL careers.

Arch Manning has made news throughout his recruiting process before he finally committed to Texas, as a member of one of the most high-profile families in the football world. Arch is the son of Cooper Manning — brother to NFL legends Peyton and Eli Manning — and the grandson of Archie Manning. Peyton, Eli and Archie were all-SEC stars during their college careers before even reaching the NFL level.

Eli won two Super Bowl MVPs during his career, while Peyton racked up career stats on his way to a Pro Football Hall of Fame induction. Arch also has two siblings that are highly competitive as well — May Manning and Heid Manning. Heid is a Class of 2024 offensive recruit at the same high school as Arch, Isidore Newman. May Manning played high school sports as well, choosing to play volleyball.

Arch’s NIL valuation

Arch Manning’s high-profile recruit ranking has also made him a valuable prospect to companies looking to use him for a possible NIL deal. His current On3 NIL Valuation stands at $3.4 million. Only one other high school athlete currently has an NIL Valuation surpassing $3 million: viral basketball sensation Bronny James.

Manning, a Five-Star Plus+ prospect, has seen a growth of roughly $300,000 in his evaluation since his commitment to the Longhorns. Over the past 14 weeks, his On3 NIL Valuation has jumped 64% — the equivalent of $1.3 million.

In the On3 NIL 100, which includes high school and college football and men’s basketball players, Manning is No. 2. He only sits behind James with Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Bryce Young trailing right behind him.
