Arch Manning got his first-career start against an SEC opponent on Saturday when Texas hosted Mississippi State in Austin. The highly-touted quarterback played well against a really bad team but it was his dance moves that sparked the most conversation on social media.
A large number of fans didn’t know he is like that!
Arch, the son of Cooper, is the nephew of Peyton and Eli and the grandson of Archie. His last name is obviously a very big deal. The Mannings are football royalty.
However, as good as they were on the gridiron, neither of Arch’s uncles epitomize “swagger.”
We have seen Peyton’s dance moves. They’re… something!
Eli thrives in a more traditional ballroom dance routine.
Even Cooper, the coolest of the three brothers, needed help with his moves.
Arch breaks the Manning mold in more ways than one.
First and foremost, he has wheels that Peyton and Eli do not. People forget that Archie could scoot back in his playing days, but Cooper actually credited his eldest son’s impressive speed to his mother after an impressive touchdown run against UTSA earlier this season.
And then there is his on-field demeanor.
Arch threw an absolutely perfect pass against the Bulldogs. It went for 49 yards and a touchdown.

Folks at home could not believe what they witnessed. They could not fathom that a Manning was moving like that. Well, he was! Archibald Charles Manning can get down with the best of them.
And to be completely fair, you should see Eli, Cooper and Peyton after a few libations at Mardi Gras. The most famous family in football can cut a rug better than you might think!
Arch Manning just so happens to be the one to put it on display.
