After two seasons as a backup with the Texas Longhorns, Manning must enter the lineup and show he's been worth all of the hype. If he does live up to those expectations, he'll be in the running to become the fourth Manning to hear his name called either with the first or second overall draft pick.
Everyone has already seen flashes of Manning's ability, because Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian liked to work the underclassman into the lineup for stretches. Now, it's time to performer at a high level on a full-time basis.
Looking at the latest Manning, he's probably closer to his grandfather in play-style than his two uncles. He's not quite as tall as the latter two, and he has far better movement skills than both of them did, which can be implemented into the offense with designed runs.
As for the Cleveland Browns, they currently have four quarterbacks. It's often said that if a team has two quarterbacks, then it has none. Well, that's doubly true in the Browns' case.
Joe Flacco is 40 years old. Kenny Pickett is a former first-round bust. The team didn't see enough in either Dillon Gabriel or Shedeur Sanders to draft them in a range where they'd be considered real investments worthy of being given legitimate shots to start.
Maybe Cleveland gets lucky at quarterback for once, and Sanders (or Gabriel) hits. No one should be betting on that possibility at the moment.
