Johnny Manziel’s Pro Day impresses
Johnny Manziel’s NFL Pro Day impressed, according to reports.
According to an ESPN report, all NFL teams but the Cleveland Browns and Chicago Bears were represented as they watched the 2012 Heisman Winner go through his reps.
According to another report, Manziel didn’t have a perfect throwing day, but a couple of those misses should be blamed on Mike Evans (bobbling one out of bounds) and Travis Labhart (dropping one). He ended up hitting 61 of 64 passes, with NFL.com Charean Williams saying: “One bad pass” (she also said “Boom!” in the same tweet).
Manziel said: “I felt like it was good…(I) was obviously going for perfection. So had a couple balls hit the ground. One was on me. One was a little bit high. I could’ve got it down for him a little bit.”
The workout was run by quarterback guru George Whitfield.
Houston Texans GM Rick Smith, who has the No.1 pick in the 2014 Draft (incidentally), said: “He made the throws that you look for and that you wanted to see, so it was good…It’s just a part of it and it was impressive.”
