During the 2014 NFL Draft last week, Johnny Manziel made it very clear that he wanted to be selected by the Browns. And how do we know this? Well, because according to Browns quarterbacks coach Dowell Loggains, Johnny Football sent him a text message during the draft urging the team to do whatever they had to do to select him. It was one of the things that reportedly convinced Cleveland to take him with the 22nd pick in the draft.
"We're sitting there and they keep showing Johnny on TV and Johnny and I are texting and he shoots me a text and he says, 'I wish you guys would come get me. Hurry up and draft me because I want to be there. I want to wreck this league together,'" Loggains revealed yesterday. "When I got that text, I forwarded it to the owner and to the head coach [Mike Pettine]. I'm like, 'This guy wants to be here. He wants to be part of it.' As soon as that happened, Mr. Haslam said, 'Pull the trigger. We're trading up to get this guy.'"
They moved up. They drafted Manziel. And the rest is history. Now, we get to sit back and see how much "wrecking" Manziel & Co. do in the years to come.
