We all know how Jon Gruden loves to gush over quarterbacks during the draft process, but apparently he took his gushing to a new level when it came to Johnny Manziel. Not only did Gruden gush over Manziel, he also went as far as to say that he would leave the broadcasting booth for the Raiders job if it came open.
According to three sources, Jon Gruden spent round 1 of the draft imploring the #Raiders: Draft Johnny Manziel. Just imagine #whatif

Jon Gruden told one close friend: “If there is one job I’d come back to the @NFL for, it’s the #Raiders.” But will he leave his current job?
