Draft Day Serves as Surprise to Manziel and Others

Johnny Manziel, also known as Johnny football because of his amazing football skills he displayed as quarterback in collage, was supposed to be one of the top draft picks in the NFL draft last week in the first round of the 2014 NFL draft.   However, many teams already have experienced quarterbacks starting for them, and they might not want a younger guy to be on their team staring at quarterback.  However, I don’t see any harm in training him for a year or two until he is ready to start and when your starting quarterback retires, you put him in to start.  Surely these other teams needed certain random positions filled in and decided to draft strong players in those positions, because manziel wasn’t drafted until a lot later than he should have been.
Manziel ended up being drafted to the Clevland Browns, not exactly the best team in the NFL, but it would do for Johnny Football.  After being drafted finally, it was discovered that Manziel sent a text to the quarterback coach of the browns telling him to “hurry up and draft” him already.  After seeing this the head quarterback coach of the browns sent a text to the owner and head coach of the Browns, telling him what Manziel had texted him.  The head coach of the Browns took this as a sign that Manziel was ready to go, and really wanted to play for the Cleveland Browns.  He traded up a pick to pick Manziel to play for the Browns.
Shortly after this happened, the owner of the browns made it clear to Manziel that he wouldn’t be starting at quarterback for the Browns in the upcoming 2014 football season in the fall.  However, the head coach of the Browns said otherwise, that Manziel would be competing with the already starting quarterback of the Browns for the starting position at quarterback for the upcoming season.
There were a few other surprises in the draft, such as the Vikings not picking Manziel when they had the chance.  With Manziel, the Vikings could have an unstoppable backfield with former 2013 season NFL MVP Adrian Peterson and then Manziel at quarterback.  But the Vikings decided to chose another quarterback over Manziel.
Another thing that was interesting about the 2014 draft last week was the very first homosexual was drafted into the NFL.  Michael Sam became the very first open homosexual male to ever ender the NFL draft and be drafted.  Shortly after he was drafted, he celebrated by giving his boyfriend a kiss, which was broadcasted to millions on live television.  Many may find something wrong with this but I personally believe that this should be fine.  If men and women can kiss each other on television, gay males and females should be able to as well.
The Draft was full of surprises and the 2014 football season upcoming should be very interesting.
