Cleveland Browns hype up Johnny Manziel, Brian Hoyer battle before Lions game (Photo)

In just a few short moments, the Cleveland Browns will take the field against the Detroit Lions, and if you haven’t heard by now, this will mark the NFL debut for former Heisman winner Johnny Manziel as he begins to try and take the reins from starter Brian Hoyer.

And prior to the game, the Browns organization themselves took to their twitter account to hype up the battle between the two signal callers that begins on Saturday night.

They tried to be as subtle as they could, but with the amount of attention that this game is getting because of the duel, that’s pretty much close to impossible. This simply can’t be ignored, not even by the Browns themselves.

The Browns traded up in the first round of the NFL Draft back in May and selected Manziel with the no. 22 overall pick, immediately creating the buzz.

Hoyer, on the other hand, was well on his way to showing that he could have been the team’s QB of the future, before a knee injury hampered those chances.
