Archie Manning’s comments have disrupted a major betting market.

Manning said that his grandson, Arch, would be staying at Texas this offseason and not entering the 2026 NFL Draft.

Thursday, SportsBetting.ag had Arch listed as a 2/1 favorite to be selected No. 1 overall next April.

Friday’s odds look much different, and there have been some major changes to a number of players since this market was initially released on April 28.

South Carolina quarterback LaNorris Sellers is now the betting favorite to be the top pick (3/1) followed by Drew Allar and Garrett Nussmeier, both at 7.2.
