Adam Schefter ‏@AdamSchefter

In Sunday Conversation with @KirkHerbstreit, @JManziel2 sounded like this will be his last year at A & M and he'll be in the 2014 NFL draft.

Great Player in the NCAA at his position but I do not think he will be playing QB in the NFL. I love watching him play though and maybe he proves my theory wrong but this guy can ball.

I think he can be a special player in the NFL. Usually players like him can't through for s**t but he actually has a pretty nice arm. Should be interesting to see him next season.

Mariota will be a better pro, guarantees!

He is really fun to watch. If he produces like last year he will go number one over all. He really does throw a solid ball and the wheels are outstanding. I hope he gets the right system and the kind of coach that will develop him properly for the NFL. Problem being usually the team in a position to pick number one has none of those things in place. He might actually be better off in the long run if he regresses a little this year..increase the chances he goes somewhere that will take care of him better.

So, he's a raider or a jet? Poor guy. At least he can win a few more games in his lifetime before his career is ruined.

He is overrated. Normally I'd say he would bust in the NFL, but actually I think Kaepernick's success makes him valuable and shows that teams can adjust an offense to really fit a player. Him in a pistol offense would be very interesting. If it wasn't for Kaep, if he came out after a year I think he would be looking at 3rd-4th round grade. Because of Kaep, he could merit a 1st round pick.....Philly anyone?

However, I still don't have high hopes for him in the NFL unless he shows some rapid improvement as a passer.

Played in the same system that produced Case Keenum. Only difference is Manziel is a way better runner.

Marcus Mariota is going to win the Heisman and be the #1 overall pick next year
