Neither did Drew Brees. Then he ended up in the 2nd round of the draft.

He was either a shade under or just at 6'0 and his draft stock reacted poorly.

That same year Vick was drafted #1 overall, and he's a much more apt comparison to Manziel coming out of college. - Inigo Feb 21, 06:07 6
- With LT in the first and Brees in the 2nd, that had to be one of the best drafts ever for a single team. - Jim Feb 21, 06:10 4
  - Yeah, it's up there with Ogden then Ray Lewis for the Ravens. First two draft picks ever. - Inigo Feb 21, 06:13 3
    - That's an impressive pairing as well. Didn't realize they were the same draft -- nm - Jim Feb 21, 06:19 2
      - Yep, Ozzie Newsome's first draft in charge....2 first ballot Hall of Famers....yeah, he chose wisely. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 21, 06:20 1
        
        If he had listened to fans and local media, he'd have drafted Lawrence Phillips. - Inigo Feb 21, 06:24
- ^ Vick was measured at 6" exactly. -- nm - Inigo Feb 21, 06:08
Brees was selected at a different time. Manziel is coming out at the perfect time for his skill set. - Jim Feb 21, 05:54
