Manziel, featured in the Netflix documentary 'Untold: Johnny Football', confessed to neglecting film studies after being drafted from Texas A&M in 2014. However, given that the admission came directly from Manziel, many were skeptical.
McDaniel, who had a stint with the Browns and was a part of Kyle Shanahan's team that resigned after a season, discussed this during his appearance on 'The Pivot'. He corroborated Manziel's claim.
A memorable moment from McDaniel's time in Cleveland was a deceptive play where he and Shanahan feigned a disagreement with Manziel to throw off the defense. Despite the play's success, it was nullified due to a penalty.
Furthermore, McDaniel highlighted that there was evident tension between the coaching staff and the front office regarding Manziel's draft, pointing out Manziel's lack of commitment and preparation. This likely contributed to his brief spell with the Browns and subsequent absence from the NFL.
Interestingly, the Browns overlooked recommendations from various consultants they had engaged to evaluate the 2014 QB draft class, opting for Manziel. The impact of that decision lingers on.
