Hall of Fame quarterback Warren Moon doesn't seem impressed by former Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel, and as a point of his argument he points to Tim Tebow.
"As a college quarterback, he was one of the greatest to ever play, but so was Tim Tebow," Moon told the CBSSports.com of Manziel. "He had a tough time making that transition because he was that same style of quarterback."
While insisting to the website he isn't saying Manziel can't make it in the NFL, Moon added "you're talking about taking a guy number one overall in the draft and he's 5'11. He didn't really run that fast at the Combine, only about a 4.6 which was closer to a 4.7, so you are talking about a small guy that's not very fast in an NFL that's big strong and fast. He likes to run around and make plays and he was able to do that in college. I just don't know how well that's going to transition into the National Football League."
Of Manziel, Moon, who starred in both the NFL and Canadian Football League later added "I need to see a little bit more of him as a pocket passer because that's where quarterbacks in the National Football League are going to make their money. "All the running around and creating plays is great, but when it boils down to it, you have to be able to sit in the pocket and make throws."
