Arch Manning Reveals Three Elite NFL QBs He Learns From

Texas Longhorns quarterback Arch Manning is currently spending time with his family at the Manning Passing Academy (MPA) in Thibodaux, Louisiana. The four-day football camp invites young quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers and tight ends to learn from the elders of the Manning family: Archie, executive director of the MPA, and his three sons, Cooper, Peyton and Eli.

The youngest of the group, Arch, fielded questions in between practice sessions and was asked about this upcoming season at Texas and which quarterbacks he studies by On Texas Football.

"I watch a lot of Joe Burrow and Josh Allen. Those are my guys. Obviously, Mahomes. I like to take bits and pieces from everyone, and I like watching other great players."

Manning went on to recall seeing other quarterbacks like Allen in years past at the MPA.

Hosted by Nicholls State University and founded in 1996, the camp invites college quarterbacks to serve as camp counselors, tutoring the next generation of football stars. Some of the college players who make up this year's class of counselors include Arch Manning, South Carolina's LaNorris Sellers, Texas A&M's Marcel Reed, Alabama's Ty Simpson, Georgia's Gunner Stockton and dozens more.

"Our number is about 40 to 45 starting college quarterbacks," Archie Manning said in an interview about the event last year. "They will serve as camp counselors. The college kids heard about it, and most of them must feel like it's a good experience, so they want to come."

Another special guest will be actor Glen Powell, who will play the role of Chad Powers, a character created by Eli Manning in a prank, infiltrating Penn State's walk-on tryouts.
