The Manning Passing Academy was started all because Peyton got tired of seem teams run the ball and lose.
"During his high school days at Newman," father Archie Manning said, "Peyton could not understand why a team would lose 28-3 and maybe throw six passes. It bugged him. By the time he was in college, and proved you could win throwing the ball, he told me we should have a camp during the offseason devoted to passing. Never forgot it."
