The 2010 Manning Passing Academy again features high school coaches, college coaches and assistants from various schools. "We have probably about 120 on staff this year. We always have a good time with the college guys who come in. The NCAA will let us have one player from each college," Archie said.This year's featured college quarterbacks is a star-studded group which has Archie very excited. "This is the best collection of college quarterbacks we've ever had. We have Ryan Mallett (Arkansas), Andrew Luck (Stanford), Christian Ponder (Florida State), Jordan Jefferson (LSU), Greg McElroy (Alabama), Kellen Moore (Boise State), Andy Dalton (TCU) and Jerrod Johnson (Texas A&M). "Moore may break Colt McCoy's win record of 45 wins at a school before he is done," said Manning.
"All in all, we probably have 25 to 30 college players. We have some outstanding receivers as well. It's a very good group. I'm excited as well that my good friend Kenny Anderson is coming down this year. Kenny was a great NFL quarterback with the Cincinnati Bengals, leading them to a Super Bowl. He just retired from NFL coaching," added Archie.
Every camper receives a J5V football upon arrival in Thibodaux. They take home a free DVD of the 2010 camp when they depart. The popular "Air It Out" passing exhibition by the top quarterback instructors attending is set for Saturday, July 10 at 11 a.m. There are many good speakers from the college and professional ranks scheduled.
Having the camp in July guarantees that it is going to be hot, very hot! "We wait until we know it's good and hot," laughed Archie. "That's Louisiana. That's how we like it. That is home."
