Marshall Manning, the son of NFL Hall of Famer Peyton Manning was on the field before the Pro Bowl kicked off. And it is clear that Marshall has the Manning genes coursing through his veins. Manning went viral after throwing a host of dimes to Cincinnati Bengals star wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase. And as you can see in the video, the kid already looks primed for the pros.

Manning's Not Rushing Arch's Departure From College
The Mannings seemingly have an amass of talented football players growing from their family tree. Just look at Peyton and Eli's nephew Arch Manning, who is touted to be the Texas Longhorns starting quarterback in the fall. Even in limited playing time last season, it was enough for some to believe he is ready to go to the NFL right now.
However, according to ESPN's Pat McAfee, the Manning family would prefer for Arch to stay at Texas and develop.
"One of my source(s) in the Manning family told me this: 'We are old school and you never lose your job from an injury. ... Everybody assumes that Arch is on a fast track to the NFL but that isn't true... He wants to develop and stay in Steve Sarkisian's system,'" McAfee said.
Former Alabama head coach Nick Saban agrees with that stance on Arch's future. Noting that players going into the NFL prematurely ultimately hurts them in the long run.
"You can see in the NFL, some of the guys that are forced to play before they're ready — high draft picks and first-round draft picks — if they're not on a good team, they struggle early on," Saban said. "They lose their confidence, and that affects their ability to perform."
