Was watching him on first take. Here are some quotes:
"He is a kid....he is not a finished product, he isn't 23 as a 5th year senior"
"If he gets in the right system with a coach that believes in him....Manziel will be a Smash Hit"
"He can create offense unlike most guys I have ever seen, and he has guts, quickness, vision, and he loves the big arena....guys like him don't come along often"
"There isn't a play Manziel can't run"
"It might not happen right away, but this kid is going to go places if someone gives him the opportunity"
He also mentioned Johnny is ranked much higher than any other QB in this draft class
"He does have issues, but he can learn, he wants to learn, and boy is he fun to be around"
"We had two days of chalk board (with Manziel) and he has very good communication skills, very good retention, and when he learns it he can teach it, and that's what these QBs of today have to do with this new CBA. They have to be able to get on the phone, call these players, and meet up to run these workouts that the coaches can't"
"The priority of an organization has to be a QB....you better have a QB, or you better start developing one, or the chances are you will be like me, FIRED!"
"It's not about what this QB can do in my offense, it's about putting an offense together that really accentuates this kid's strengths."
"Anyone who passes on Johnny Manziel will regret it"
" I called plays for 14 years, and this is the kind of kid I'm looking for, this is the kind of QB I want to be around. I just get a certain feeling when I'm in the room with him, and I think he permeates confidence throughout the entire building"
"There is a certain magic to this kid"
