With the first pick in the 2014 AA Writers’ Mock Draft, the Houston Texans select…
Johnny “Football” Manziel, Quarterback, Texas A&M University
1. Houston Texans
Johnny “Football” Manziel
Quarterback, Texas A & M University
The Texans have bought into the hype that surrounds Manziel. They believe he can bring this football team to the promised land with his quick feet and ability to improvise when plays break down. Pairing him with a big-time receiver like Andre Johnson will only help when Manziel throws the kind of passes that allow his receivers to go up and get them.
