Brock Purdy is one of 36 QBs announced as counselors at the Manning Passing Academy this summer

Counselor? He should be the Dean of Professors. I noticed that Petco wasn't listed, he must be working out with his individual coach.
For a second I was like, “Tom Manning has a passing academy?”
It's probably a pretty big honor to be one of the "counselors", and a way to 'give-back' as the camp is for high schoolers mostly. I suppose you could also say that the counselors could always learn a thing or two also, while teaching, because they are aspiring to go to the next level also.
Here's an article about a Nixa QB (Nixa, MO, in our area, same high school Chase Allen went to), who went to the camp in 2019.

Joe Burrow, Trevor Lawrence, Justin Herbert and Tua Tagovailoa were each among the counselors at the 2019 MPA (well apparently Tua couldn't make it).
To be fair, Petsmart will only be in his second year starting next year and Purdy stole the show as a freshman.
