Eli said he “felt” for his nephew because “he had so much pressure and so many expectations” to grow up.
“I told him, ‘Hey, love being a high school football player,’” Eli Manning said. “It’s a good time in your life, some of the best friends you’ll have forever. Don’t start thinking about college so much, or ‘Hey, where am I going to play in college,’ and thinking about the next level where you can’t enjoy this time of your life.
“So enjoy it, work hard, be a great teammate and you’ll understand where you’re going to play in college.”
ARCH MANNING GETS A WARM WELCOME FROM THIS COLLEGE’S FOOTBALL FAN BASE
Arch Manning, a five-star junior quarterback, lived up to the hype in the season opener on Friday night. He completed 19 of 34 passes for 238 yards and three touchdowns. He also carried the ball five times for 50 yards and a score in a 28-0 shutout victory over Vandebilt Catholic High School.
