How much does Arch Manning earn from NIL deals? Ranking top 5 football players earning most

It literally pays to be a Manning, just ask Arch Manning. The nephew of Peyton, Eli, and grandson of Arch is one of the top five highest-paid NIL earners in college football.

According to On3.com, Manning has the second-highest NIL (name, image, likeliness) value in the country. His value as of right now is worth $3.7 million and the only athlete he trails is Lebron James' son, Bronny James, who has a $12.6 million value.

Manning has the highest-value of all college football players. Caleb Williams comes in with the second-highest value at $2.6 million. Behind him sits Travis Hunter, who is valued at $1.7 million. Deion Sanders' son, Shedeur, has a $1.5 million worth.

Capping off the top-five is Drake Maye, who is projected to be a top-pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.

Arch is the son of Cooper, who broke multiple school records at Isidore Newman in Louisiana, which were previously held by Peyton and Eli. His football career was cut short due to spinal stenosis. His son Arch will be playing for the University of Texas this fall.

Arch will have a lot of pressure on him to be successful as he comes from the Manning family. Both his uncles, Peyton and Eli, have each won two Super Bowls and have had remarkable careers. His grandfather Archie was a two-time Pro Bowler during his NFL career.

Talk-show host Pat McAfee thinks that Arch could surpass his family's greatness.

McAfee said:

"[Arch] Manning has grown up in the Manning Football Academy. He is more athletic than Peyton and Eli and has been watching NFL film since middle school. [He] is dominant in seven-on-sevens and in high school. [He] can run, can dunk, can move. He might be the best Manning ever."

Manning will be a freshman at the University of Texas in the fall and has a chance to compete for the starting job. In a few years, he'll be in the NFL looking to make a career of his own to add onto the Manning family legacy.
