Johnny Manziel might actually be on it with his 32 Wunderlic score, highest of all the QBs in the 2014 draft...:D :P

A good example of the difference between intelligence and wisdom.
Yup, we missed on him. Appears that he did have interest in Stanford. For us to go all the way to the top, we need to get those likely stars (4 and 5* rated) and not miss these diamonds in the rough.
