Hall of Fame Quarterback on Johnny Manziel (Sporting News):


"I got a chance to see his game against Alabama from start to finish and I was really impressed with a lot of the throws that he made. There's no doubt in my mind that with his playmaking ability, he was doing it last year as a freshman against good competition, I would anticipate that he will be drafted relatively high. Whether or not he'll be a first-round pick, I don't know, but I think he'll be successful when he gets his opportunity. I think he's coming into the league at the right time when people are more open-minded about quarterbacks that can really run with the football."

When asked if Manziel could be a starter at the NFL level, Bree's told fox sports.com, "Yeah, absolutely. He is a heck of a player. He's fun to watch. He makes all kinds of plays. He's got all the playmaking ability to be a great player. There are guys like Manziel in this league. Russell Wilson and his ability to run the football and extend plays outside the pocket and throw the ball down the field. Intermediate routes. I mean he can do it all."
