You sure about that? How a guy plays in college "doesn't mean squat" regarding their NFL potential? So what are you gauging his potential on if not how he played in college? Now, clearly, no one has suggested that being a good college player guarantees that he will be a good pro, but you'd rather have a guy that played well in college versus one that did not.

Manziel is certainly a leader and a polarizing figure, love him or hate him, something like Tebow but for different reasons, almost too much hype and publicity.

Ron Jaworkski on NFL network this morning said he was moving Manziel up from 4th round to 3rd round now, after his pro day workout.

Reason that Jaworkski had him that low - most of his throws are on the run and out of the pocket. If throws from the pocket he would give higher marks.

Another NFL analyst said Manziel reminded him most of Doug Flutie who did well. Then the other analyst said Flutie was drafted in 11 th round and over 13 year career only had 66 starts if want to call that successful.

There are plenty people who have Manziel rated higher or at the top as well.

Apparently Norv Turner at Minnesota said he likes Manziel. Minnesota has 8th pick.

And five more weeks of over analysis till draft starts.
