With the early season success of Brian Hoyer, Johnny Manziel has yet to make much of an impact in the NFL. However, today the Browns rookie quarterback made the biggest impact of his pro career so far by catching a pass on a beautifully executed trick play. Unfortunately for Cleveland, it didn't count. That's because a penalty flag thrown for an illegal shift negated what would have been a spectacular 39-yard play that began with Manziel pretending to talk to his coaches. At least we will forever have this vine.
