Have you seen Johnny Manziel play? Well he's making college football look like a piece of cake. This is why if he stays healthy, Manziel will find himself in the NFL before the official end of his college career.
Will it be next year or two years from now? We don't know, but why stick around in college when you will definitely become a first round pick?
There's no doubt about it, he could use one more to change his game. Manziel could use the time to shift gears and become a pass-heavy quarterback. Look what happened to Robert Griffin III in the NFL. In comparison to his counterparts Andrew Luck and Russell Wilson, who are also Rookie of the Year candidates, RG3 was knocked out of games and hit hard because of his playing style.
Sports World Report's Raymond Anderson examined the run-heavy quarterback in his article, RG3 Knee Injury Demonstrates the Eventual Fate of Scrambling Quarterbacks.
In his first college season, Manziel passed for 3,706 yards and 26 touchdowns in 434 pass attempts. He completed 295 of his 434 pass attempts, that's 68 percent. Manziel ran the ball 201 times for 1,410 yards and 21 touchdowns.
In comparison, RG3 posted similar numbers in his final season as a Baylor Bear when he won the Heisman Trophy and proceeded to the NFL the year after:
291 completions in 402 pass attempts for 4,293 yards and 37 touchdowns. On the ground, RG3 gathered 699 yards in 179 carries finishing in the end zone 10 times.
Give and take, both players produced in similar fashion. RG3 threw for more yardage and ran less in college. However, his production changed in the NFL. Of course, that's expected to happen. One major difference from college and the NFL is the speed of the game and the players.
RG3 worked perfectly in the pistol offense because he is a running quarterback, but he's injured due to this skill set.
Manziel could use a year or two to focus on the passing game. He could become more of an Aaron Rodgers who's extremely dangerous, a Super Bowl winning quarterback and manages to stay healthy week after week.
Rodgers can scramble and run, but he chooses when and where to do it. He usually does it when he's in trouble, but he's always a pass first quarterback.
Manziel is untouchable in college, that is something usually never said once a player, especially a quarterback, reaches the pros.
