Johnny Football Has Arrived In Cleveland

There hasn't been a player hyped on and off the field as much as Johnny Manziel in a long time. Manziel had perhaps one of the greatest college careers since Tim Tebow. However, Manziel's personality is a complete opposite of Tebow. Like Tebow, Manziel fell towards the end of the 1st round. With the camereas on him constantly the world got to see how he would handle the situation. There were many glances at his cell phone to avoid the awkward stare into the cameras. Finally, Manziel got tired of waiting and texted the owner of the Cleveland Browns to draft him.

That was all it took for Manziel to land in Cleveland as the Browns traded up to the 22nd OVR pick in the 1st rd to select him. There have been several QB's taken at 22 that haven't worked out. However Manziel is different as he is a special football player never seen.

The hype has gotten so big that Manziel is now the #1 selling jersey in the NFL. Even Miami Heat and Cleveland native LeBron James was seen wearing a Johnny Manziel jersey days after the draft. It has become a phenomonal story for the NFL and will only get better as training camp starts.
