Former Texas A&M University quarterback Johnny Manziel is arguably the most exciting college football player since Tim Tebow. The difference? Manziel can throw the ball with the best of them and should be the first pick in the 2014 NFL draft.

After two years with the Aggies, the kid they call Johnny Football has come out of college to enter the 2014 NFL Draft.

Breaking records were daily chores on Saturdays for Manziel, the first freshman to ever win the Heisman Trophy in 2012. Manziel broke the freshman for total offensive yards for a season that same season, was a Heisman finalist his sophomore year and is only the fourth quarterback to have 20 rushing and 20 passing touchdowns in a single season.

His stats speak for themselves, but there are still areas of concern for NFL GMs.

Height comes into play when you’re a quarterback going into the draft, maybe more so than any other position. Although two Super Bowl winning quarterbacks in the past five years have been around 5-foot-10 to 6-foot in Russell Wilson and Drew Brees, there are still massive questions that surround Manziel and many other quarterbacks who come into the NFL draft undersized.

Manziel’s size has yet to slow him down as his legs have carried him to many touchdowns. Pressure from the defense can make or break a QB, but the 6-foot tall Manziel uses it to his advantage to the point where he relishes in it. Whenever a defensive lineman has broken through the line on his way to crush the crush him, Manziel finds a way to elude, spin, juke or even jump over the opposition in order to make a play down field with his strong, accurate arm or his quick, decisive legs.

Big games are where Manziel loves to shine. He split his two games against what is considered the top program in the country in the University of Alabama. Manziel found ways to make miraculous throws and downfield runs that plagued the normally-solid Crimson Tide defense.

In the second meeting, Manziel threw for 464 yards with five touchdowns while only losing by seven, 49-42, thanks to a defense that was ranked in the triple digits for the season. Bowl games also proved to Manziel’s liking. With a mix of arm strength, accuracy, leg speed and a touch of luck, Manziel won both the Cotton Bowl in 2012 and the Chick-fil-A Bowl in 2013 while earning MVP honors in both.

As much as Manziel has proven that on the field he is a stud, his off-the-field actions have brought many questions about his character and attitude towards life and the game of football. Coming from a family of money, Manziel has had the opportunity to do things that many people don’t get to do, such as hangout with rapper Drake, go to parties around the country among many others.

Manziel’s partying, however got the most headlines after his freshman year as pictures and stories flew around the Internet rapidly. Even though his actions slowed down during his sophomore season, many NFL experts and NFL teams are still asking about Manziel’s work ethic, “extracurricular” escapades and his dedication to the game.

Manziel’s pro day showed that he cares about the sport and his spot in the draft.

Many experts questioned Manziel’s leg and arm mechanics including ESPN’s Ron Jaworski, a former NFL quarterback.

“Manziel may fall,” Jaworski said. “I’m not crazy about him, to be honest with you… I wouldn’t take him in the first three rounds.”

Such bold statements from a person who watches more game tape than nearly anyone else not employed by an NFL team can make headlines and motivate someone to work harder. After an offseason of questions about Manziel’s game, Johnny Football showed the NFL that he worked hard on his game by fixing many parts of his throwing motion. By doing this, Manziel also proved that he is dedicated and passionate about football.

Many experts on college football players have fallen in love with quarterbacks Teddy Bridgewater out of Louisville University and Blake Bortles out of the University of Central Florida. Both quarterbacks look to be more pro-ready than Manziel when looking at their mechanics and size.

Even with his small frame, his apparent off-the-field and durability issues, Manziel has proven on the field in college, this offseason in workouts, and in interviews with teams and reporters that he should be the first pick in the whole draft, not just at his position.

As Manziel said when asked about the possibility of not being drafted first overall: “It would be the worst decision [the Houston Texans] ever made.”
