Arch Manning Had No Words After Peyton Manning's Post on Tuesday

From waterboy to counselor, that has been the trajectory of Texas Longhorns quarterback Arch Manning's experience at the Manning Passing Academy.

The camp has been running for nearly 30 years and has been hosted by his football-royalty family members. His grandfather, Archie Manning, is in the New Orleans Saints Ring of Honor, while his uncles, Peyton and Eli Manning, each won two Super Bowls during their careers.

This year was a tad different for the youngest Manning quarterback, as it came before his first season as the starter for a Longhorns program fresh off two trips to the College Football Playoff. He also had a bit more of a responsibility, as he explained to The Athletic's Larry Holder.

"I’ve gone from waterboy to camper to coach. So I’ve climbed the ladder," Manning said.

Following the camp, his uncle Peyton took to Instagram to share some photos of the event, featuring pictures of he and Sam Leavitt (Arizona State), Austin Simmons (Ole Miss), Miller Moss (Louisville) and Jalon Daniels (Kansas) among others. However, the one picture that many will likely take notice of is the multiple generations of Mannings.

A picture that Arch shared on his Instagram Story to commemorate the fun few days.

While the Mannings certainly had fun throughout the camp, Arch made it clear that he is preparing to be the guy in Austin, expressing how much effort he has put into his preparation, despite all the buzz already anointing him as next year's No. 1 pick.

"Yeah, I’m just doing what I can to control what I can control," Manning said. "I’m not really worried about what other people think. Just get my job prepared. And when it’s time to go play, go play."

Manning and Texas will open the season on the road at Ohio State in a game that will have both ESPN's "College GameDay" and Fox's "Big Noon Kickoff" in attendance.

Needless to say, plenty of eyes will be on Manning to see how he stacks up to his uncles.
