NFL Draft rumors: Agent denies Manizel doesn’t want to play in Jacksonville
By Josh Sanchez
On Wednesday afternoon, a report surfaced that Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel was “not too thrilled” about the idea of playing for the Jacksonville Jaguars and it didn’t take long for Manziel’s camp to come out refuting the report.
When Manziel’s agent, Erik Burkhardt, was asked by Pro Football Talk about the report, he quickly denied there was any truth to the report.
That’s not a surprise.
Even if the report were true, Manziel’s agent would not come out and say that it was.
The good news is that Manziel’s camp is making the right moves now and minimizing damage control because the reality is that he has no choice on where he plays and if the Jaguars want to make him their selection with the No. 3 overall pick.
