‘Crisp’ Jalen Hurts draws praise at Manning Passing Academy

During the Manning Passing Academy this weekend, multiple SEC quarterbacks participated in the yearly camp put on by Peyton, Eli and Archie Manning. Among those in attendance were Alabama’s Jalen Hurts, Mississippi State’s Nick Fitzgerald, LSU’s Danny Etling, Texas’ Shane Buechele and USC’s Sam Darnold.

And while the event isn’t exactly an indicator for how much success any of these quarterbacks will have in the 2017 season, it does give us an early look at how all of these young quarterbacks are progressing.

I had a chance to speak with Brenden Ertle, a New Orleans Saints writer who was in attendance at the camp, which was held at Nicholls State University.
