Arch Manning has been in the spotlight for the Texas Longhorns this season. The quarterback is considered one of the favorites to win the Heisman Trophy.Amid the high expectations around Manning, ESPN's draft analyst Field Yates has projected the Texas QB to go to the Cleveland Browns in his latest mock draft. "In my mock last week, Arch went No. 1 overall to the Cleveland Browns, an order determined by the football power index," Yates said on "Get Up," on Wednesday. Yates also explained that Manning has yet to prove himself on the big stage as a starter."The ceiling is tremendous here for Manning, but it's a massive, massive year to prove that he is going to belong in that No. 1 pick consideration," Yates added.Manning's future at the collegiate level is still open for discussion. Many reports suggested that the QB might play at Texas for two years as a starter before declaring for the 2027 NFL draft. However, Manning hinted last week that he could declare for the draft next year.The Browns took two quarterbacks in this year's draft, Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders. Both rookies have made it to Cleveland's 53-man roster for the season and will serve as backups to veteran Joe Flacco.
