"Justin Herbert is as talented as anybody. He can throw a mile; Lamar Jackson does things that just don't seem possible with the ball in his hands. He es well, he runs and he also protects. I could never run, so I never had that problem.

"Josh Allen is a total stud. Tough. I watched him this summer. He's highly motivated to give Buffalo a championship," Manning concluded.
