Thibodaux, La., is definitely not Disney World, but it probably will be a pretty happy place for South Carolina quarterback Jake Bentley this week.
Bentley will be in Thibodaux starting Thursday along with more than 40 other college quarterbacks to help the famed Manning football dynasty mentor young offensive players, mostly quarterbacks, in the finer points of the passing game.
Started in 1996 by family patriarch Archie Manning when his son Peyton was the quarterback at Tennessee and his son Eli was a sophomore in high school, the Manning Passing Academy has become the foremost high school summer camp in the country under the direction of Peyton and Eli, who each have at least one Super Bowl ring, Archie, the former Ole Miss and New Orleans Saints quarterback, and third son Cooper.
