After winning the Chik-fil-A Bowl in a comeback victory over Duke, Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel upped his draft stock from a late first-rounder/early second-rounder to now a top 5 pick in the 2014 NFL DraftBasically, we all know Manziel is going to turn pro now. One of our former writers Evan Sidery, who was at the bowl game, confirmed and heard Manziel saying he is going to the NFL.
However, Johnny Fooball has yet to make it official that he will turn pro. Manziel was even on ESPN last night during the BCS title game, but wouldn't give a slight hint of if he's going to return for his junior year or go to the NFL.
However, Aggies teammate Ricky Seals-Jones expects Manziel to be gone, according to the National Football Post:
Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel says he’s undecided on whether to declare early for the NFL draft. He told ESPN at the BCS national title game that he’ll decide in the next few days after discussing his options with his family. “I want to make the right decision that’s best for me and my family,” Manziel said. Manziel is expected to go pro, and even one of his Aggies teammates says so. According to the Houston Chronicle, Texas A&M wide receiver Ricky Seals-Jones said recently that Manziel is going to the NFL. “Johnny’s gone,” Seals-Jones said during a Sealy High basketball game. “He’s gone.”
Manziel is expected to make the final word soon. Many have him going No. 4 to the Cleveland Browns, but there could be a chance he could out-duel Teddy Bridgewater and Blake Bortles if he performs well enough in the NFL Scouting Combine.
Manziel put up insane numbers with the Aggies, and the fact that he put up these statistics in just two seasons is startling.
