I’ve become a fanboy of Baker Mayfield. The guy is badass. He’s still got a season to change my mind but I’d have to go with Johnny Football. I can’t think of a college player I’d take over Manziel honestly. There was something about the kid that was just fricking magic. He was even luckier than the other players it seemed like. Mayfield is an epic qb though. His performance against Ohio State was an all-time classic.

No one figured out the scouting report on him until his first start against the Bengals. Their DC (Paul Guenther, IIRC) said that their gameplan was to not let Manziel roll out to his left. He was very unique among right handed QBs because most of his best passing plays came when he rolled left instead of right. That made him very hard to defend and figure out. No one figured that out until Cincinnati in 2014.
