3. Quarterback, Johnny Manziel

How could this list not include Johnny Manziel? Com’on, the moment you clicked on this link you knew Johnny Cleveland would be mentioned, because it’s completely true. Who doesn’t want to watch him?

This is a different Manziel.

Judging off attitude alone, you have to like what you’ve seen so far from him. His rushing touchdown in the first preseason game stood out to me not because of his ability to step up and score, but his celebration when he scored, or rather, lack of celebration.

It was simple.

Team oriented, and a simple jog back to the sideline. No money sign. No flaunting. No taunting. Finally, maturity seemed like a characteristic for the second-year quarterback. I personally think even against a very tough Buffalo defense, Manziel will play extremely well on thursday night.

There was something positive to build off his 7-11 performance, that will propel him to a very important preseason. I really believe Manziel is still in the running for the starting job, especially if he outplays Josh McCown this preseason.
