Is Johnny Manziel following in the steps of Brett Favre?! Headed for greatness? Many have compared Manziel to Favre in the past and now Brett Favre finally sees it. Check out his comments on Johnny Football…
Via ESPN:
Favre told USA Today Sports that he hadn’t watched the quarterback play much, but after he heard the comparisons, he watched three quarters of the Aggies’ 41-38 win against Mississippi on Oct. 12. In that game, Manziel completed 31 of 39 passes for 346 yards and rushed for 124 yards and two touchdowns.
“I almost thought I was watching film of a young Brett Favre,” he told the newspaper. “I didn’t think I did a lot of things well [in college at Southern Miss], but he did. And I liked the attitude of ‘whatever it takes.’ From that standpoint, I liked him.”
…
Favre told USA Today that he believes Manziel is already a better passer than he was when he entered the draft in 1991.
“I didn’t throw near as well as him,” Favre said. “He may have that capability — unbelievable throws and can make plays with his feet. I was impressed.”
