Johnny Manziel has been a star since he entered the NCAA in 2012, shining on some of college football's biggest stages while representing the Texas A&M Aggies. He has been called and considered one of the best players and quarterbacks to ever play college football. Now that his college career is over and he is preparing for the NFL draft, he is facing criticism and doubt from NFL analysts who say he will be a bust and that his talent will not make it to the next level. Many NFL scouts and analysts have compared him and said he will be the next Tim Tebow. Considering Johnny Manziel's quarterback mechanics, unique quickness, and play-making ability, I'd like to think and argue differently. One of Johnny Manziel's successful college football predecessors is Tim Tebow. Tim Tebow was also a college football star in the SEC, just like Manziel. Although they are considered similar and compared to each other due to their ability to scramble from the pocket, they are absolutely different players. Tim Tebow was the first sophomore to win the Heisman Trophy, college football's most prestigious and honorable award. He broke an SEC all-purpose yards record that was later broken by Johnny Manziel. He also won two BCS national championships, something Manziel has never done. Tim Tebow also has great physical attributes being 6 feet 3 inches and weighing 240 pounds. A big question about Johnny Manziel is his size and whether he will withstand the hits he will take in the NFL due to his desire to climb. Johnny Manziel doesn't have the typical height of a successful NFL quarterback, standing just 5 feet 11 inches tall and weighing about 200 pounds. Once Tebow's college career was over and he decided to enter the NFL draft, NFL analysts began... middle of paper... doing everything they could to prove that he is an NFL-ready quarterback. it is a man's league in which there is no room for decent players or simply good players. The best football players in the world play in the NFL, and players even better than the best get a starting job as a quarterback for an NFL team. This is because the most is required and expected from the quarterback position. NFL teams, coaches and general managers don't just want a great quarterback, they want a great person who will be an outstanding citizen in and out of the locker room, who they can count on. I think Johnny Manziel is the perfect choice to play this role. Picking Johnny Manziel would be the best decision an NFL team has ever made within their organization. Johnny is an NFL hopeful with a chip on his shoulder who I believe will become the face of an NFL team's franchise.
