Johnny Manziel may not have a completed his first NFL pass yet, but he came close to getting his first reception after nearly pulling off a pretty slick trick play. After pretending to get into a dispute with Cleveland Browns offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan and another member of the staff, Manziel quickly streaked down the sidelines and hauled in a pass from Brian Hoyer, taking it 39 yards. Unfortunately, the play was flagged for an illegal shift which meant it was all for naught. Still, it was pretty awesome try.
