Is Manziel under 6 feet tall ?

[Betallsports]

Skill players tipped the scales and were measured at the NFL Scouting Combine on Friday.


While most teams have an idea about a player's measurables, it's a chance to get exact numbers on underclassmen.


The three quarterbacks, who are considered among the elite in this draft class, each had questions about their size coming into Indy. Now, those questions are finally answered.


Former Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel measured in at 5-foot-11 3/4 and 207 pounds. While the Heisman Trophy winner is a bit undersized, he had the largest hands of any quarterback at the Combine.


On the opposite side of the spectrum, teams were wondering how big former Central Florida quarterback Blake Bortles is. At 6-foot-5, 232 pounds, Bortles looks like the prototypical NFL quarterback. He has also decided to throw and run at the NFL Combine, which could help solidify his stock as the No. 1 quarterback in the draft.


Many skeptics believed former Louisville quarterback Teddy Bridgewater needed to beef up a bit and it seems like he has, measuring in at 6-foot-2, 214 pounds. Bridgewater could be the most polished passer in this class and his athleticism could help him separate from his competition.

Did I hear someone mention Johnny "Autograph"?

 

[HacheMan]

I have a feeling he falls to #7 where the Bucs might take him.

New coach Lovie Smith said the other day don't be surprised if they take a QB with the selection. ..

Report: Johnny Manziel a possibility for Buccaneers


The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have narrowed their options for the NFL draft's No. 7 overall pick, and Johnny Football has reportedly made the cut.


Former Texas A&M star quarterback Johnny Manziel is on a "short list" of the Bucs' first-round candidates, which might be of great interest to the quarterback-needy Minnesota Vikings, who follow Tampa Bay with the No. 8 pick.


Manziel's place in the Bucs' first-round plans was reported by espn.com on Thursday. On NFL Network's "Path to the Draft" show Wednesday night, analysts Daniel Jeremiah and Brian Baldinger speculated about a possible Manziel-Buccaneers marriage.


Jeremiah acknowleded that Tamapa Bay appears to be set at quarterback with newly acquired Josh McCown and second-year man Mike Glennon, "but I just think you have the ultimate wild card here -- Johnny Manziel, if he's still there when they pick. They should at least talk about it, kick around and consider it."


"We always talk about it," Baldinger added, "wherever Johnny Manziel goes, you have to have a system in place -- a good defense around him, a good running game, and really be a good complement to that. He would be a good fit in what (GM) Jason (Licht) and (head coach) Lovie (Smith) like to do."


A Manziel-to-Bucs draft scenario would put the star quarterback in bright lights in Week 3 of the newly announced NFL schedule. The Bucs play the Atlanta Falcons and veteran QB Matt Ryan on Thursday, Sept. 18 on NFL Network and CBS.


Tampa Bay's need for a quarterback isn't quite as strong as that of some other clubs. Still, it wouldn't be surprising if the team set its course for the future at the game's most critical position by drafting a QB early. McCown, after all, is 34. And Glennon will have to prove himself to a new coaching and front-office staff after a solid rookie campaign last year under since-fired coach Greg Schiano.


Manziel's former college teammate, wide receiver Mike Evans, has been projected as the Bucs' pick by NFL Media analysts Daniel Jeremiah, Charles Davis and Bucky Brooks. Quarterback figures to be higher on the priority list for Vikings coach Mike Zimmer -- also entering his first year with the club -- than Smith's, although Vikings general manager Rick Spielman isn't so sure the first round is the right time to pick a quarterback in this draft.


Jeremiah projects the Vikings to pick UCF quarterback Blake Bortles at No. 8 overall.
