Johnny Football No More


The 2014 NFL Draft landed plenty of high grade college talents to NFL teams. The most talked about athlete was Johnny Manziel, and respectively so. Manziel dominated at Texas A&M and everyone seems to be jumping onto the bandwagon. Let me first say that there's a reason that he was picked 22nd overall and not top 5. Look at how Quarterbacks similar to Johnny Manziel have fared in the NFL. Vince Young for one has had a complete career downfall, despite being the "next big thing". Don't get me wrong, Johnny has one of the best personalities in sports. The dude just bought over 100 people a free beer and a shot of fireball following his bid from the Browns. I just have to be realistic and admit that Manziel will never be a feared Quarterback in the NFL. In a league where tall, strong, and content pocket passers thrive, Johnny does not fit that description at all. I hope i'm wrong here, but a QB of his style just doesn't translate well into the league. Besides, he's already been told hes the backup. Enjoy many more keg stands Johnny, it will be a long road to success.
