Arch Manning didn't stay idle during the Texas Longhorns' bye week this season, ensuring that he stayed busy even beyond the team's practices.
That included announcing his latest brand partnership: Humann, a cardiovascular health supplement brand, and he wasn't the only Manning in the spotlight.
When the commercial dropped, it wasn't his dad or grandfather on set with him, Cooper and Archie Manning both appearing in some of his previous commercials, or even his famous uncles, Peyton and Eli.
It was his mom, Ellen Manning, who the Texas QB shared his spotlight with.
Ellen has largely remained behind the scenes throughout Manning's collegiate career, appearing in an occasional social media post and simply being present at his games. This time around, she made sure to show she can hold her own on screen as well.
"The real MVP of the family got her own commercial, watch this week [at live Humann]," Manning wrote on X when he announced the gig with his mom.

The commercial starts with Ellen, titled as a "Real Mom," talking to doctor Christopher Davis (yes, a real doctor) about Humann's SuperBeets at a Longhorn tailgate. Then, Manning makes his appearance, saying what a fan he is of Davis before running into DKR for a game.
"Arch! Kickoff's in 10 minutes," Ellen exclaims, and Arch replies with an excitable, "Mom! That's Dr. Davis!" as he runs off.

Humann is one of the Longhorns' on-field sponsors and has become one of the more prolific brand names noticeable across campus, also appearing throughout Texas basketball's Moody Center.
Even head coach Steve Sarkisian has appeared in a commercial or two for the company, athletic director Chris Del Conte has created quite a few promos, and numerous Texas athletes have shared their own Humann-focused content on social media.
Throughout his career, Manning has worked with numerous brands for NIL partnerships and team sponsorships; Humann is just the latest company to jump aboard the Manning Express.
Most notably, fans see commercials for brands like Warby Parker, Vuori, and RedBull every Saturday that feature Manning either on his own or with at least one member of his family. He has also partnered with Google, Topps, Raising Cane's, and more companies over the last few years.
While Manning's bye-week focus was preparing for the upcoming Red River Rivalry, just like the rest of the Longhorns, the Texas QB also made sure to get his partnership responsibilities checked off as well.
