Former New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick, who is currently without an NFL coaching position, made an unexpected appearance at the 2024 Manning Passing Academy alongside former Patriots offensive play-caller Matt Patricia. Despite speculation about his future in the NFL, Belichick was seen giving pointers to Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe, surprising fans who had expected him to take a break from football. The appearance has sparked reactions from fans, many of whom jokingly advised the duo to avoid teaching offensive strategies. Meanwhile, Peyton Manning's nephew, Arch Manning, also participated in the camp, preparing for the upcoming season as the backup quarterback for the Texas Longhorns. Arch has decided to stay with the Longhorns despite limited playtime last season, aiming to develop further under head coach Steve Sarkisian.
