Hall of Famer and former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Roger Staubach has thrown his hat into the Johnny Manziel conversation. Staubach believes the Texans should take the Texas A&M product with the number one overall pick.
Staubach sat down with the NFL Network and spoke about Manziel and who he thinks he compares to in the NFL.
"I think Manziel is a Russell Wilson-type player. He doesn't have the height, [but] he has a strong arm and he throws with accuracy."
"I just think there's something about this kid -- the quickness," he added. "Today in the league, the quarterbacks can fly; we weren't allowed to do that. I think Manziel is going to be a valuable player in the NFL.”
