LOOK: Ripped Texas QB Room Posts Viral Photo

It's a linebacker. It's a defensive lineman. No, it's the Texas Longhorns quarterback room, featuring a jacked Arch Manning.

Everything is bigger in Texas, even its quarterbacks.

It is evident Torre Becton has been putting the Texas Longhorns quarterback room to work this offseason after gunslinger Maalik Murphy posted a photo of him and fellow signal-callers Quinn Ewers, Arch Manning, Charles Wright and Joe Tatum all shirtless in the weight room at the Dr. Nasser Al-Rashid Strength Complex. The photo sent Twitter into a frenzy talking about how jacked the quarterbacks — especially Murphy and Manning — looked.

Murphy, which one Twitter user described as a "grown man," is listed at 6-5 and 235 pounds and Manning at 6-4, 212. However, it looks like the two are adding even more muscle mass on through summer workouts.

Fans made jokes related to their freakish athletic build, like a hypothetical situation where a referee says a pass is incomplete, Murphy says it was a completion and the referee overturns his original at the drop of a hat. Others started fun speculations for the year after Ewers' likely departure for the NFL.

"Arch vs Maalik next year for the QB1 job is going to be insane, 3 future NFL first round picks," one Twitter user wrote.

If the whole quarterback thing doesn't work out, at least they'll have the Arnold Sports Festival to look forward to.
