Few college players have caused the excitement levels to go through the roof quite like Arch Manning. The Texas Longhorns quarterback is the son of Cooper Manning, with Peyton and Eli being his uncles.

Naturally, he wants to get started off on the right foot, and that means getting in shape. Going by a photo of the Longhorns QB room that has since gone viral, Arch Manning, along with all the other quarterbacks, is in peak physical condition. But of course, this does not translate to success on the field.

Once NFL fans saw the photo, comments came pouring in.

"Honestly that’s kinda weird," one fan said.

Other fans chimed in with their thoughts on Arch Manning's photo.

So it appears not many people are buying into the Texas hype after this picture. But for now, the Longhorns have a good quarterback room, headlined by Murphy and Arch.

Coming into college football is daunting enough for most high school players, but when you have a last name that is considered football royalty, it adds an extra layer to what people expect.

With Peyton and Eli Manning both winning two Super Bowls and setting a number of records for their respective teams, many have Arch earmarked for the same.

While his high school numbers are incredible (8,539 passing yards, 115 touchdowns, and just 19 interceptions in four years), translating that to college football is something entirely different.

Much was made of Arch Manning's choice of Texas, but it is clear he wants to go on his own path and not that of his uncles.

Despite the hype around Arch, some are not sure if he will be Texas' starting quarterback, but time will tell if the Longhorns want to go forward with him.
