Cam Newton Blames Arch Manning for Worst QB Draft Class in 20 Years

March 4, 2026 · Yahoo Sport

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

Newton stated on the "4th & 1" podcast that the absence of Manning has shifted expectations, leaving evaluators struggling to find a "franchise quarterback" among prospects like Carson Beck and Fernando Mendoza.

He clarified his comments are not a critique of Manning's ability, but rather the immense pressure he faced. Newton predicted the 2027 class could be elite once Manning enters the draft.
