NFL star believes Arch Manning won't be bothered by expectations ahead of 2025 kickoff: 'Won’t affect him'

As the Texas Longhorns travel to face Ohio State to kick off the 2025 season, Atlanta Falcons RB Bijan Robinson, who played in the burnt orange during his college days, gave his take on Arch Manning and more.

The first Saturday of the 2025 college football season kicks off with No. 1 Texas heading to No. 3 Ohio State in a matchup that will have all eyes watching, especially on the Longhorns sideline.

Arch Manning, the nephew of Super Bowl champions Peyton and Eli Manning, has been highly publicized this offseason as Texas’ offense will now run through him. The redshirt sophomore carries lofty expectations, but one former Longhorn believes he’s built for the moment.

Bijan Robinson, the Atlanta Falcons star running back, knows what it takes to succeed at Texas, and he’s confident that Manning understands exactly what must be done this Saturday and every week afterward to achieve the ultimate goal of a national title.

"His family, man, he’s been around it his entire life," Robinson told Fox News Digital while promoting College Colors Day, which falls on Aug. 29. "So, this moment right here isn’t too big for him."

Manning grew up watching his uncles grind through the trials of the NFL — seeing them fail in tough moments but also rise to win the Vince Lombardi Trophy.
