There’s no way the scenario can happen, but you can’t blame folks for dreaming.
Johnny Manziel is Texas grown, so it shouldn’t shock anyone that the Texas A&M star grew up a hardcore Cowboys fan. Manziel is unlikely to be on the board when Dallas picks 16th or 17th, but he told the Star-Telegram that “playing for the Cowboys would be a folktale gone in the correct direction.”
“I got a chance to meet Jerry,” Manziel said. “I didn’t know him. To get a chance to sit there and talk with him – the guy is an absolute football fanatic. I really enjoyed meeting him. Until my mouth was sore from talking, and my ear was tired from hearing all of it, we sat there in his suite at Cowboys Stadium and talked for hours. It was awesome to see how he really is, how passionate he is about everything. Me growing up as a Cowboys fan – I was born at halftime of a Cowboys game – that would almost be a folktale in the correct direction. We’d have to call that Johnny something else. I don’t know what it would be.”
Nothing wrong with a brotha dreaming right.
