WATCH: Texas QB Arch Manning showcases quickest release in the West image

Arch Manning took extra time during the Fourth of July break to do what elite quarterbacks do: spend more time throwing to receivers. 

Working out at his alma mater, Isidore Newman (New Orleans, La.) High, Manning showcased an extremely quick delivery and high-level footwork. 

The brief video, which was captured by QB Country, sparked the latest round of Manning hype thrall. A few things to get excited about here: 

  • That release. Elite. 
  • The fallaway touch on that end zone fade route? Has just a touch of his famous uncle, doesn't it? 
  • See how many times you can count Arch's last name on display in the video. Pretty cool to be working out at a facility your family put on the map. 

Obviously, this isn't the last time we'll get to drool over Manning's potential. Still, since he's had such limited on field exposure, workout highlights like these continue to be catnip for Longhorns.
