There is no indication yet as to where former Texas A&M quarterback and Heisman winner Johnny Manziel will end up come the NFL Draft this Thursday, but the potential suitors are beginning to narrow themselves down according to Ian Rapoport at NFL.com.
According to Rapoport, there are now five legitimate landing spots for the most polarizing figure in college football history, while also pointing out that he will fall no lower than 13th to the St. Louis Rams.
"Rapoport named St. Louis (which picks second), Jacksonville (third), Cleveland (fourth), Tampa Bay (seventh) and Minnesota (eighth) as potential landing spots, and said no one he has talked to thinks Manziel goes outside the top 10. Regardless, Rapoport said, Manziel’s “basement” — the lowest he could be selected — is 13th, when the Ramsare scheduled to make their second first-round selection."
All five of these teams, at one point or another in the pre-draft process, have been in the discussions of teams that have legitimate interest in Johnny Football, most notably the Rams as of late. It’s said that a lot of prominent people in the organization, including head coach Jeff Fisher, are intrigued by the dual-threat phenom.
