Sarkisian pointed to the quarterback's improvement in his fundamentals, but also highlighted the new weapons he'll be surrounded with when the 2026 season kicks off. The team landed star transfer wide receiver Cam Coleman while adding running backs Hollywood Smothers and Raleek Brown, who combined for over 1,700 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns.

You've got to have the ability to mix up launch points, and you've got to have the ability to mix up when the ball's coming out of the quarterback's hand," he added.
Over the first half of the 2025 season, Manning threw 12 touchdowns and five interceptions, but over the final six games of the season he tossed 14 touchdown passes and had just two interceptions
