because of the Manning's

I never dealt with them personally but the stories I've heard make them seem like douche bags (especially Archie).

Eli was pretty notorious for being a giant dbag, especially at Ole Miss. Granted, he lived the dream so a lot of that may be jealousy. I will say I know a lot of people from New Orleans and Ole Miss who had poor interactions with him in his younger years.

As a football coach who sends kids to the MPA, and as someone who attended as a camper years ago when Eli himself was among the "students" I'll say this: it's a great experience, a ton of fun, pretty awesome to be around great talents like that, and there are a lot better camps for teaching the QB position

It is a great showcase camp for recruiting prospects, and a lot of fun. But we never really look at it as a way to hone our craft. They just don't do a great job of that IMO. But, our kids have a great time, and when we have someone that has a legit shot at playing college ball, the MPA is a must hit

Next summer is a big one for my group
