The Manning Passing Academy returns to the campus of Nicholls State University in Thibodaux for its 12th season beginning Thursday, June 23 and running through Sunday, June 26. Returning with the MPA will be the 2016 Saturday Night Lights event present by Papa Johns, scheduled for a 6:30p.m. start on Saturday, June 25 on Manning Field at John L. Guidry Stadium. The annual Air-it-Out Session has become the highlight of the Manning Passing Academy, as former New Orleans Saints quarterback Archie Manning, along with current NFL signal callers Peyton and Eli Manning are scheduled to participate. Every year, top quarterbacks and wide receivers from both the college and professional ranks square off in an exhibition highlighting the skills being taught at one of the nation's premier skills position football camps. Some of the best quarterbacks and receivers in the nation will work as camp counselors for the academy, as last year 40 collegiate and professional QBs participated in the Air-It-Out Session. Some of those college players included A.J. McCarron Alabama, Teddy Bridgewater Louisville, Jeff Driskell Florida, Tajh Boyd, James Franklin Missouri, Aaron Murray Georgia, Marcus Mariota Oregon, Conor Shaw USC and Bo Wallace Ole Miss to name a few.
