Former New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning advised his nephew, Texas Longhorns junior QB Arch, to choose his words more carefully around the media after his latest controversy.
Arch Manning drew ire last week when he laughed with reporters over an AI edit of Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian slapping ESPN reporter Holly Rowe in a postgame interview after a 24-23 Week 2 win over the No. 7-ranked Ohio State Buckeyes (2-1). In the real interview, Sarkisian ditched Rowe. The coach and QB have since apologized.
Eli Manning shared his thoughts and his advice for his nephew during an interview with Front Office Sports, which the site shared on Tuesday. His comments began surfacing on social media and sports blogs on Wednesday.

Eli Manning said he didn’t contact Arch Manning immediately after his comments became a national storyline, since they mainly discuss “football stuff.” He still recommended his nephew be more cautious around the media.
