“Honestly, it was a bit difficult to see,” said the explorer. “It has just been more exaggerated. It almost doesn’t matter what I did, I couldn’t have met those expectations. But I will admit that I thought it would be better than him.”
On Monday, Manning recognized his performance, saying: “I have to play better.”
Another talent evaluator gave Manning a more indulgent review, highlighting the “very good” talent in the defensive field of buckers. Other explorers adopted an approach to wait and see, noting that it was still “too early in the process.”

The former New York Jet Explorer, Daniel Kelly, offered an optimistic review of Manning’s Day in Columbus, Ohio, saying he was “really encouraged” for his performance.
“He has shown an improvement in several key areas. He has improved to see the whole field. It is better to go through his progressions and deliver more and third reading. And it is much better to feel the pressure,” Kelly wrote about X. “I noticed several plays against Ohio State, he could leave Danger and not take into account his legs or his height of the laws or that he was at the height of his laws or was able to be able to be able to able to see lateral pressure while being able to follow his pressure.
