Cam Newton Blames Arch Manning for Weak 2026 QB Class

March 4, 2026 · Yahoo Sport

Former NFL MVP Cam Newton claims the 2026 quarterback draft class is the worst in two decades, attributing the lack of star power to Arch Manning's decision to return to college.

Newton stated during a podcast that the current pool lacks a "franchise quarterback" and criticized the high expectations placed on Manning, which overshadowed the 2026 prospects.

He clarified the criticism isn't directed at Manning's talent but rather the intense scrutiny that followed the Texas star's return to school, suggesting the 2027 class will be significantly stronger.
