🏈 Manziel Going Pro

[It Takes Eleven]

per ESPN. I'm glad I don't have to suffer through Bama trying to hem him up again next year.

RTR,

Expected but thank good God now Mike Evans needs to take his big ass on too.

He declared last week.

 

[bama alum]

Jake Mathews should announce very soon as well.

Don't think this year turned out the way Manziel had planned. I look forward to seeing his growth in the NFL, he has always been fun as hell to watch.

A&M will have a lot to overcome next year with all the names they are losing. They won in spite of their defense this year. Next year might be ugly.

Agreed, but they do have a good recruiting class. 2 out of the top 10 recruits, and the Class of 2014 is ranked 5th I believe. Some hope for the future.

He's got crazy talent and despite the media narrative, I don't think he's a bad guy off the field. That said, he's just too small to last in the NFL if I was to guess.

They gotta catch him first and he went up against SEC speed most of the year.

Maybe so, but as good as the SEC is, the NFL is much, much better.

He will need to be in a system like the dolphins were trying for a while with Ronnie Brown and was it Campbell? You have to let this guy run a good bit...

 

[Brandon Van de Graaff]

He can last but he's going to have to learn to avoid contact at that level. There will be a lot of eyes on Cleveland come draft time. The Texans ownership would love to trade down and get him but he isn't a fit for O'Brien so I don't see that happening. If Houston took at QB today it would likely be Bortles.

 

[Kirk Van de Graaff]

If he runs like he did in college, he will get murdered. The kid has talent, it will be interesting to see him develop.

 

[Bamabww]

I hope he does well in the NFL. He's been an exciting player to watch.

 

[MunchyOs]

Good! Now, any word on Tre Mason?

Meeting with agents this week. He is more than likely leaving.

The thought, or question, crosses my mind with Manziel.

Can you guys think of a player that's elevated a school more than he's done for A&M in two short years?

Sure, a guy like Tebow had his impact but Florida was already winning. I'm pressed to think of a guy who has done more for a school than JM.

 

[alabama mike]

Thank goodness we don't have to chase him around all over the field the next two years. That bugger was one tough cookie to contain, catch or defend. I can't think of anyone who has done so much for team in such a short period of time than Maziel. BTW, Johnny, don't let the door hit your rear end on the way out of the SEC! I loved watching him play except when it was against us.

I think it was a combination of things, a perfect storm if you will.

TAMU has been waiting on the opportunity to get out from under Texas' shadow, move them into the SEC, throw in Johnny Manziel, add the Heisman, bigger stadium that was overfunded instantly.

...kaboom!

RGIII would probably be the closest.
