Is that the one that’s only senior QBs?

Makes no sense. Unless you had to be on a preseason watch list and he wasn’t on it.

No, there are several non seniors on the list. Manning, Sellers and Reed jumped out but I’m sure there are more.

Has to be on the watchlist

I’m seeing that now. Totally absurd to not have him as one of the 25 trimmed. What an oversight and embarrassment for that award committee.

It seems like it has to be an oversight but on their Twitter posts several people are pointing it out in comments, and there has been no revision or anything so idk.

Arch Manning being on the list is comical.
