He won't be half as effective in the nfl. He had FOREVER to throw on half of these passes with a perfect pocket. His athleticism, while good, will not allow him to run circles around NFL defenses. College superstar but won't fair too well in the NFL.
SouthernFried87 why would we forget the greatest college football player of all time? And when he comes back to the nfl we will not forget one of the best nfl qb’s of all time #comebckszn
Mike Evans = Best WR in the country. He hardly gets any respect cause he plays under Manziel's shadow but he's the X-factor for that team and makes all the big plays.
I had forgotten about that play at 4:56, holy crap, he was 27 yards behind the line and then threw downfield 40 yards to gain 13. Crazy. No idea how he wasn't sacked there.
Heck of a game. I know his receivers helped him a lot but he was pretty accurate and didn't make too many poor decisions against a solid defense. This was a highly anticipated game and he showed up. I'm not a huge Manziel or A&M fan, but I do respect the effort he and their offense gave. I'm only commenting on this game, so I don't want to hear anyone crying about what he does wrong. Except for that int in the end zone, which I know was a BIG mistake, he played damn near mistake-free football against one of the most respected teams in college football.
I honestly don't think St Louis will draft a qb in the first round, I know they have 2 picks but I see them getting a WR & probably a OL. Since there is so much OL & WR talent in the first round. Second round I can see them looking at Aaron Murray or Aj McCarron as the eventual replacement.
I think this video perfectly shows JM's best trait: his football IQ. He always knows what to do with the ball and while his mistakes are often big ones, he rarely makes them.
As good of a college quarterback as he is now, the Pro level is quite the leap forward in expectancies and challenges, Johnny won't be elusive against defensive teams and pass rushing defense
he will be he just has to be coached right he can throw at a high velocity too he gets more polished at the next level he can be very dangerous with those legs
Anyone who doesn't watch this in awe of his skill doesn't know what they're seeing. Absolutely destroying the best defense in college football. At will. He will be a force
@Matt Stapley regarding how much time he gets in the pocket. The opposing teams give him that much time because they only rush 3. If you rush more than 3 you leave yourself susceptible to his running. I watched his high school videos and seen him at A&M and it's usually by design. The down lineman don't rush him to try and sack him they rush him to keep him contained. A "mush rush"
To note, the first pick Manziel throws in this game was actually his receiver not running his route as he was supposed to. The offensive coordinator said as much on the following Monday.
Funny how many people here will defend Johnny as if he can "do no wrong". He is undoubtedly one of the most exciting players I have ever watched, and he can do some absolutely spectacular things. But there are plenty of instances in this game as well as many others that expose some of Johnny's problems as a quarterback, especially as one at an NFL level. It will be interesting to see what teams focus more on come draft time. The positives or the negatives.
We can all agree, game changer was the interception in the endzone, If that does not happen, Texas A&M wins by a field goal, because their offense is just too damn good. I mean everytime Johnny has the ball every play has the potential to be a touch down. He can hurt you with his elusiveness in the pocket, his arm, and his legs. Man is a pure god.
Jumping from sophomore as a college athlete to playing professional football is big difference in speed and athleticism and size and expectation. He's gonna feel the difference real quick when he gets in there.
Saw some good things. Solid athleticism, doesn't shy away from making the big plays. Has a better arm then suspected. But he has Michael Vick-tendencies of flat out killing plays and crucial turnovers. Without the 5 TO's, the Aggies probably take it. But as an Eagles fan, I'd draft him. He has higher upside than Foles and he's probably the best player on the board when we pick.
except Manziel, is faster, prob the most elusive QB ever, his escape ability is crazy he runs like a RB, makes people miss like emmitt smith, great accuracy, great arm in other words can actually throw, and also a potential game manager. besides didn't tebow lead the broncos to the playoffs and won a post game against the steelers? c'mon he going to the texans think with Andre Johnson, Arian Foster, JJ Watt, Antonio Smith, ED Reed Owen Daniels & Brian Cushing cmon wit that squad he'll succeed.
The time in the pocket that Manziel gets doesn't just deal with rushing. A&M has been known for their offensive line the past few years. Even if you don't blitz, you're D-line shouldn't be stopped that long by an O-line, and will not be stopped that long in NFL.
Emanuel Morales Let me repeat this again - you're an idiot. Despite being one of the most elusive and dynamic runners I have seen at QB in a long time, Manziel will know when to slide/get out of bounds and adjust in the NFL.
Hard to say. The comment you're making right now is what a lot of people said about him before he went to play college ball. I don't think the pocket thing will hurt him as much as you're saying, because he has confidence and doesn't freeze up under pressure. The problems I do see him running into are size.
I really don't like the American football due to his always interrupted flow. Though, for the first time, American football is entertaining and spectacular for me. This Johnny Manziel is incredible. Very, very skillful !
It's impossible to say with certainty if Manziel will have a good or bad career in the NFL the same way it is for any player. Wilson and Kaep didn't exactly face stiff competition in college but because they were drafted to strong supporting casts they've had easier transitions. Cleveland however has good weapons for Manziel in Gordon, Cameron, Tate and Hawkins as well as many pieces on defense, and Shanahan's offense should be a good fit for him. Not to mention the AFC North is much weaker than it used to be.
Can't see how anyone can complain about his arm. He is BY FAR the most accurate passer in college and there are not many who can say their arm is stronger. Bridgewater's only advantage over Manziel is his arm strength but Manziel's accuracy and decision making surpasses Bridgewater. However, I'd say the fact that Manziel completes more passes and for longer distances on average with a supposed "weaker" arm only adds to the impressiveness of Manziel.
Guys it is getting Pretty Obv who everyone is going to take now here is my List. Houston-Jadeveon Clowney (IF they do not trade their Pick) St.Louis-Jake Matthews (IF they do not trade their Pick) Jacksonville-Sammy Watkins or Mike Evans Cleveland-Johnny Manziel Oakland-Teddy Bridgewater The Rest are really up for Grabs.
Good college player, won't do anything in the pros, helps having a stud receiver in Evans (almost half of Manziel's passing yards this year are to Evans).
One of the only reasons he is so good is Cus Texas built the entire offense around him so he will feel a lot more comfortable as u can see he does tons of things u shouldn't even try in the nfl...if he goes in the nfl he's prob gon end up like vince young HE HAD GOD GIVEN TALENT AND CARRIED THAT TEAM TO THE...either rose bowl or orange bowl idk but he is prob gon end up goin to the jags they could build there offense around him and" mojo" BUT he would REALLY fit in with the eagles because they have a speed offense ex.desean jackson,Jeremy maclin,Jason avant,lesean McCoy but they got nick foles but basically he has god given talent
No one has THAT much God given talent. And besides, Manziel is short and has a slightly above average arm. Compared to guys like Mariota, Bridgewater, and Bortles, he has little "god given talent." He is successful because of his improvisational ability which is due to his brain, aka intelligence.
Bama is running man press coverage. The reason Manziel keeps throwing to Evans is cause he is the only one strong enough to consistently get through the press.
L.S.U. and Mizzu provided the blueprints for slowing down Johnny Football. Just keep him in the pocket and make him beat you from there. If he leaves the pocket, treat him like a RB. Now if Manziel can prove that those two games were merely flukes then he's a top 5 pick, if he can't then some team will have to be in a gambling mood to selected in the top 15. I don't think he'll get past the Raiders or the Browns in the 1st rd who could trade down and select him. NFL Comparison: Jeff Garcia passing ability, M.Vick exclusiveness.
Having to play an 16 game schedule in the NFL won't protect him from having to play with injuries from time to time. Trust me! defenders who are just as fast or faster than Manziel are licking their chops waiting for an opportunity to lay the wood to him (5"11-207) when he leaves the pocket. For his sake I hope he becomes a pocket passer and only leaves the pocket when he has too...
He will have to play with injuries in the NFL like everyone else does from time to time; especially if he plans on making plays with his feet instead of his arm.
wait... why are we comparing him to Wilson again? I wanna hear you state how him and Manziel are so alike. What exactly? His arm.. his speed, how he cuts? Everyones there own player. Comparisons just lead to misjudgement.
dude was good in college but this type of game wouldn't work in the NFL against smart defenses,...even if he does get his shit together and finds himself back on the field
wsu 510 you're a moron he's far better than, Blaine gabbert, rg3,Brock osweiler, Jared Goff, mariota, Ryan fitz, Sam Bradford, jay cutler, Ryan tannehill, Alex smith. Which are all starting qbs.
He reminds me a lot of Terrelle Pryor. Pryor liked to run like this, too, it worked out for him for about 3 weeks in the NFL and then defenses figured him out. Running QBs don't last in the NFL anymore. It worked for Vick, because he used to be like the only one, but now that there are like, at least 8 running QBs in the NFL, defenses know how to stop them. I have a bad feeling Manziel is going to end up like Pryor. Once Pryors running game got taken out of the situation, he made really big mistakes and his "spark" kind of faded away, also running QBs always get injured in the NFL.. Not trying to hate on the kid, just saying most running QBs are injured by week 5. Most of the throws he made here would be intercepted in the NFL.
in the nfl you need to zip it in there in those 15 - 20 yard throws to the sideline and also as we all know Brandon weeden is going to canton of course....
His talent is outrageous. Lets be honest here, no QB has his skill set and his swag on the field. He is already better than RG3. Top 10 Qb in the league, no questions asked. You can hate but he will have the last laugh.
It's funny, all of those floaters that were under thrown are picks in the NFL. But because the DBs were snoozing he got away with it. He doesn't really look that fast to me either. The holes in an NFL line won't be half that big so all his scrambling will be a lot tougher to get back to the line of scrimage. I don't see what the big deal is. Mike Vick was way better with a better arm and look how he fared!
remember though once upon a time Mike Vick was arguably the most dynamic player in the League. Then he even enjoyed success after he got out of prison until the last two years where his age finally caught up with him. Johnny Manziel will have to make some adjustments but if he does what he needs to do he'll be just fine
james johnson I know the Browns front office is salivating over him and I personally hope they opt out of the johnny football plan. He'll get several broken bones playing in CLE lol.
if vick was a 4.4 guy and he got caught and injured how to people argue manziel wont be. Saying he can dodge everyone is ridiculous. He isnt barry sanders he isnt even lesean mccoy.
Nobody said he wouldnt get injured i just said hes a playmaker. Everyone gets caught even vick who used to be a 4.3 guy but you cant argue that manziels not a playmaker. He had one of the best college careers ever and his highlight videos all together are probaly 30 minutes long. Nick sabans considered one of the best defensive minds in football and he had no answer for johnny manziel either time, that has to mean something
I don't care what you guys say about JF but that kid has fight and heart in him. Down by several scores late in game he still fight and almost reel these guys to a win. If anything that AM defense sucks. That side has been pathetic the whole game. JF does a lot of things great he scrambles to hit targets, run for first down as a second options, and feed his play makers first. If anything I hope and pray his guy falls to Dallas. Dez, JF,and Murray will do some real damage in the league. JF will make sure Dez will get the ball and those guys emotions, heart, and fight will fuel, reengerize the team for many years...similar to Troy and Irvin.
@@scottm9158 9 years later and the truth is out. Saw the Netflix show about him. Dude could've been a beast. But he settled to be an alcoholic, sneaky lying druggie bum.
@@scottm9158dude why are you going through all the comments replying from a decade ago and more so why are you watching jff highlights from the 2010s lmao rent free
Manziel has many character issues that would definitely impact his draft value. He lacks pocket presence. If you want to be successful as a quarterback in the NFL, you need to be a drop-back pocket passer, which Manziel is not. Run-first quarterbacks can only last so long. Manziel also has played against mediocre defensive teams, other than Alabama. If he does not develop pocket presence, along with a quicker release and tighter spirals, he will not succeed in the NFL.
Are you insane?!?!?! Manziel lacks pocket presence? He's run first? I'm not wasting my time with typical ignorant JF rebels when Manziel sits back more comfortably in the pocket than any passer I've seen. He goes through his progressions better than any Qb in the FBS(being able to draw away secondaries and can hit any receiver), not to mention he's playing in the SEC with a non existent defense and is still able to manage being the most accurate qb PASSING (73%) and has the most passing yards. This guy came back from a shoulder injury hitting 100% of his pass on his first drive (In the pocket) hitting 4 different receivers. You guy, need to pay more attention, it;s not rocket science.
"you need to be a drop-back pocket passer, which Manziel is not". What? How do you explain 31 TD passes and 72% completion rating in the best conference in CFB? If you've watched any of his games this years, he's actually ran less Character Issues are highly overestimated. It's not effecting his play in any way shape or form and he's not a locker room cancer.
Dude he's 20. Of coarse he's isn't going to have NFL quality passes. No one does when they're 20. And also a good College defense doesn't compare to a good NFL defense. But with that said...given the proper coaching..maybe a change in attitude..and ability to improve with in the next 4 to 5 years with NFL experience...he could be one of the best. Is he now? No...could he be in the future..yes.
all you people are saying that mike evens saves and makes him look good but a lot of these passes great thrown ball, he puts the ball were no one else can get it. if he goes to the Texans its not like they don't have receivers they have andre and deandre
Not at all. He did it only twice, and the first time, it was a good decision because it would have been 4th down and if intercepted, Bama would have been further back than if they could have returned a punt (shows he doesn't care about his stats but about the win). For the 2nd one, if you have a 6'5 receiver surounded by 3 5'11 corners, he's either gonna catch it or get a pass-interference penalty. Win-win
JF better not lose the heisman due to the offseason that would be bullshit he obviously the best player and don't even try to argue cause if we caculate bridgewater, mccarron, boyd, mariota, murray, winston stats total manziel got the most tds, yds and defeated the bama defense not the team but dat got an ass whooping that no qb ever laid even A.J know he's no match for his own Defense neither is bridgewater cause bama better then Kentucky defensively and offensively. manziel GOAT of college.
When I heard people say sports are for entertainment, I never really believed it... Until I watched Johnny Football
He should of stayed all 4 years....
You are correct, sir. He needed more time to mature before getting all that money.
Nihilus true
Probably would’ve won a second heisman
Wtf the are you talking about? No one could stop this guy. Anyone that was this good would have gone pro.
Bob johnny said he should have stayed
Looked like a Mike Evans highlight tape. That guy is a beast.
Absolutely
He won't be half as effective in the nfl. He had FOREVER to throw on half of these passes with a perfect pocket. His athleticism, while good, will not allow him to run circles around NFL defenses. College superstar but won't fair too well in the NFL.
VYFTW10 this comment held up well lol
James D oh yea lol

This aged well
Like fine wine
He spins that ball like no other. Man I miss this.
Thank you Johnny

The single most exciting player in college football. I'm not saying the best, just the most exciting.

I would love to see this guy come play in Minnesota
Me too
No U Dnt bust
This guy is the next Russel Wilson, i love this dude!! whoever has him will have a franchise QB for the next 15 years.

so glad i witnessed this live.
Manziel and Greg Reid were my favorite college players to watch.
I honestly don't think St Louis will draft a qb in the first round, I know they have 2 picks but I see them getting a WR & probably a OL. Since there is so much OL & WR talent in the first round. Second round I can see them looking at Aaron Murray or Aj McCarron as the eventual replacement.
5:35 easily one of the most amazing plays in the past 5 years of college football
Luck, he threw it up and he had a receiver get lucky bone
Pure luck
@PgLangGang the very fact that he made the play is evidence enough, no other qb could pull that off
5:48 best throw ever
What I like about him is that he's always looking downfield to make a play. He doesn't just automatically check down all the time.
5:35 shows his heart for the game.
He's good, but his top receiver Mike Evans is a more valuable player on the next level.
I think this video perfectly shows JM's best trait: his football IQ. He always knows what to do with the ball and while his mistakes are often big ones, he rarely makes them.

Thank god they. #JohnnyCleveland

in the nfl you need to zip it in there in those 15 - 20 yard throws to the sideline
and also as we all know Brandon weeden is going to canton of course....
His talent is outrageous. Lets be honest here, no QB has his skill set and his swag on the field. He is already better than RG3. Top 10 Qb in the league, no questions asked. You can hate but he will have the last laugh.
Is he laughing yet?
Oh boy. Terrible assessment.
Never have I seen one QB punk a whole defense like he could.
Mike Evans makes Manziels throws look way better than they actually are.
How do you put the game on the video??????
Wish The Browns would start Manziel. Hoyer has shown he is very inconsistent and will not take us to the next level.
Have to admit, the guys god. He just makes plays.
Manziel is amazing, but before you say the most elusive QB ever, type in Michael Vick VT highlights.
It's funny, all of those floaters that were under thrown are picks in the NFL. But because the DBs were snoozing he got away with it. He doesn't really look that fast to me either. The holes in an NFL line won't be half that big so all his scrambling will be a lot tougher to get back to the line of scrimage. I don't see what the big deal is. Mike Vick was way better with a better arm and look how he fared!
remember though once upon a time Mike Vick was arguably the most dynamic player in the League. Then he even enjoyed success after he got out of prison until the last two years where his age finally caught up with him. Johnny Manziel will have to make some adjustments but if he does what he needs to do he'll be just fine
james johnson
I know the Browns front office is salivating over him and I personally hope they opt out of the johnny football plan. He'll get several broken bones playing in CLE lol.
Vick was faster but he had straight line speed he wasnt near as elusive, thats what makes manziel a better runner and playmaker
if vick was a 4.4 guy and he got caught and injured how to people argue manziel wont be. Saying he can dodge everyone is ridiculous. He isnt barry sanders he isnt even lesean mccoy.
Nobody said he wouldnt get injured i just said hes a playmaker. Everyone gets caught even vick who used to be a 4.3 guy but you cant argue that manziels not a playmaker. He had one of the best college careers ever and his highlight videos all together are probaly 30 minutes long. Nick sabans considered one of the best defensive minds in football and he had no answer for johnny manziel either time, that has to mean something
ummm it's says johnny manziel vs alabama not a&m vs alabama.
This guy is so fun to watch
Johnny was amazing
I don't care what you guys say about JF but that kid has fight and heart in him. Down by several scores late in game he still fight and almost reel these guys to a win. If anything that AM defense sucks. That side has been pathetic the whole game. JF does a lot of things great he scrambles to hit targets, run for first down as a second options, and feed his play makers first. If anything I hope and pray his guy falls to Dallas. Dez, JF,and Murray will do some real damage in the league. JF will make sure Dez will get the ball and those guys emotions, heart, and fight will fuel, reengerize the team for many years...similar to Troy and Irvin.
Kid literally had no fight for the NFL
@@scottm9158 9 years later and the truth is out. Saw the Netflix show about him. Dude could've been a beast. But he settled to be an alcoholic, sneaky lying druggie bum.
@@scottm9158dude why are you going through all the comments replying from a decade ago and more so why are you watching jff highlights from the 2010s lmao rent free
Manziel has many character issues that would definitely impact his draft value. He lacks pocket presence. If you want to be successful as a quarterback in the NFL, you need to be a drop-back pocket passer, which Manziel is not. Run-first quarterbacks can only last so long. Manziel also has played against mediocre defensive teams, other than Alabama. If he does not develop pocket presence, along with a quicker release and tighter spirals, he will not succeed in the NFL.
Are you insane?!?!?! Manziel lacks pocket presence? He's run first? I'm not wasting my time with typical ignorant JF rebels when Manziel sits back more comfortably in the pocket than any passer I've seen. He goes through his progressions better than any Qb in the FBS(being able to draw away secondaries and can hit any receiver), not to mention he's playing in the SEC with a non existent defense and is still able to manage being the most accurate qb PASSING (73%) and has the most passing yards. This guy came back from a shoulder injury hitting 100% of his pass on his first drive (In the pocket) hitting 4 different receivers. You guy, need to pay more attention, it;s not rocket science.
Corey Davis Not to mention it's Texas A&M's second year in the SEC, I rest my case.
"you need to be a drop-back pocket passer, which Manziel is not". What? How do you explain 31 TD passes and 72% completion rating in the best conference in CFB? If you've watched any of his games this years, he's actually ran less Character Issues are highly overestimated. It's not effecting his play in any way shape or form and he's not a locker room cancer.
Dude he's 20. Of coarse he's isn't going to have NFL quality passes. No one does when they're 20. And also a good College defense doesn't compare to a good NFL defense. But with that said...given the proper coaching..maybe a change in attitude..and ability to improve with in the next 4 to 5 years with NFL experience...he could be one of the best. Is he now? No...could he be in the future..yes.
Manziel isint a run first QB anymore if you watched him you would know
This should be Texas A&M vs Alabama 2013...they are a team
Drew Brees is closer to 6'0''. Johnny Manziel is about the same size as him but I really don't think if he gets in the NFL, he will transition well.
all you people are saying that mike evens saves and makes him look good but a lot of these passes great thrown ball, he puts the ball were no one else can get it. if he goes to the Texans its not like they don't have receivers they have andre and deandre
If only TAM had a Defense hands down best team in SEC....
Fax
go ALABAMA!!!!!!!!!!!! ROLL TIDe
Not at all. He did it only twice, and the first time, it was a good decision because it would have been 4th down and if intercepted, Bama would have been further back than if they could have returned a punt (shows he doesn't care about his stats but about the win). For the 2nd one, if you have a 6'5 receiver surounded by 3 5'11 corners, he's either gonna catch it or get a pass-interference penalty. Win-win
Lets see this in the NFL
guess it depends on the team but i have a hard time believing he won't.
I don't know if his arm strength will be good enough for the nfl
doubt that lol it'll be top5 definitely.
Johnny Cleveland !
JF better not lose the heisman due to the offseason that would be bullshit he obviously the best player and don't even try to argue cause if we caculate bridgewater, mccarron, boyd, mariota, murray, winston stats total manziel got the most tds, yds and defeated the bama defense not the team but dat got an ass whooping that no qb ever laid even A.J know he's no match for his own Defense neither is bridgewater cause bama better then Kentucky defensively and offensively. manziel GOAT of college.
I remember those days , for A&M the drought was over . At the end of the day all that matters is the final score CHURCH FOLKS
Never could beat LSU as a starter.
Damn that Vinny Sunseri INT return was sick
Evans 13 what is his first name he's a beast
