Quote:I remember in 2014 every media person in attendance thought for sure Manziel was our pick when Caldwell said that he was the most pro ready QB in the draft.


So to answer your question, no. But it's fun watching the media run with every little thing he'll say.

 

Yeah, but...

 

He never really said that. What he said was that Manziel was the one who could get on the field earlier since he wasn't really going to change his style of play. Here's the quote from Ryan O's article dated 2 May, 2014:

 

<p style="margin-left:40px;">...“Johnny would probably be the one guy you could plug in there sooner rather than later just because his style of play isn’t going to change much from Year 1 to Year 2
”...

 

Caldwell never really tips his hand, at all. It's just that folks seem to want to embellish the things that he says / states.
