Joe Machota of the Dallas Morning News says free agent QB Johnny Manziel has had a couple conversations with NFL teams about returning to the league. Due to off-the-field issues, no team picked up Manziel in 2016 and he missed all of last season.
Of the three quarterbacks taken in the first round of the 2014 NFL Draft (Manziel, Blake Bortles, and Teddy Bridgewater), Manziel’s adjusted completion percentage of 70.6 percent in 2015 was second.
Out of 40 quarterbacks who threw at least 15 deep passes (20-plus yards in the air) in 2015, Manziel’s deep ball accuracy of 50 percent was tied for second with Ben Roethlisberger; Drew Brees finished first at 50.6 percent.
Manziel’s player grade of 50.7 in 2015 ranked 33rd out of 36 qualifying quarterbacks.
