Johnny Manziel received some unsolicited support for in his attempt to become the No. 1 overall pick in the 2014 NFL Draft.

Unfortunately, that support might actually send him tumbling to the second round, much less help him convince the Houston Texans to draft him.

None other than vilified Richie Incognito told TMZ.com on Monday night the he thought Manziel was going to be the first pick in the draft.

The TMZ cameraman found Incognito outside what looked to be a nightclub and told Incognito that Manziel thought he would be the first pick in the draft and wanted to know Incognito's thoughts.

"I think he is, too, man," Incognito said. "He's a hell of a football player.

Incognito then took the opportunity to show how thoughtful a player he is in assessing Manziel's talent and gave a hint about where he thought he should be employed in 2014 as well.

"I think what he brings to the game is an interesting dynamic. He can really move with his feet, extend the play, and that's something in the NFL we really look forward to - those young kids coming in and contributing early. So I'm really excited about Johnny Manziel. I'm really excited about his prospects. He comes from a good school in Texas A&M and ... that's it, man."

NFL Media draft analyst Nolan Nawrocki slightly disagreed with Incognito in a story about controversial prospects in the draft on NFL.com.

"Suspect intangibles -- not a leader by example or known to inspire by his words," Nawrocki wrote. "Carries a sense of entitlement and prima-donna arrogance seeking out the bright lights of Hollywood. Is known to party too much and is drawn to all the trappings of the game. ... Has defied the odds and proven to be a great college-system quarterback, but still must prove he is willing to work to be great, adjust his hard-partying, Hollywood lifestyle and be able to inspire his teammates by more than his playmaking ability."

Which assessment does more damage to Manziel's prospects of becoming the overall No. 1 pick remains to be seen.
