Johnny Manziel — or “Johnny Football” as the college football nation has nicknamed him — was hoping to be the first pick taken in the 2014 NFL draft and go to his hometown Houston Texans.
Instead, the star Texas A&M quarterback found himself drop out of the top ten, and into spot 22, going to the Cleveland Browns. Manziel did his infamous money gesture with his two hands as he headed to the stage.

With his superb athleticism and ability to make big plays with his arm and feet, Manziel joins a list of new hybrid quarterbacks that can hurt defenses several ways.
