You have to register to see it, if you do then follow a few of the posts down and you will see about 8 video clips linked to rival.com and winmedia will auto launch....

Awesome! And he plays QB this year, right?

At what size is he listed?

[TOPS1435]

Manuel is about 165-175 lb. and 6'2". He did not do weights in the off season because he believed it would interfere with his effectvieness in track and basketball. He's a shooting guard in basketball (which we have not started practicing yet-- not enough players to make a team until football's over). In track he ran the relays, long jump and triple jump.

In a summer interview he said he thought wide receiver was his natural position, but.... with him hitting over 65% of his passes in 9 of 10 regular season games in his first year quaterbacking.....even if it was West Coast-type with short passes much of the time.....I wonder what he would be like with a little more beef on him and several years college training at quarterback.

But as a receiver, he does have Terrell Owens or Randy Moss type playmaker potential.:thinking:

This is not to knock your Tigers and their potential. I look forward to seeing them Saturday. I have just been following Manuel for 3 years.

Looks like he has tallent, but he better be kissing those receivers every time he throws the ball. Many of those passes we ALL receiver effort and just have easily could have been a turnover.

The videos are of Johnson as the RECEIVER.

No doubt you made a very good point, the reciever does have tallent.....lol.....Whats really funny is I think he is as good a quarterback as he is a reciever, he just needs more weight. He has got to be one of the more accurate highschool qb's I have seen in a while. Tay Bowser whom took his reciever spot has been on fire and they resemble each other at that position. I will say this there are about 5 more recievers that play that position just as well, and there is one kid whom was awesome in the game against dangerfield, but he hasnt made it back around yet because there are so many...if you like that kind of open spread offense no matter who your rooting for you should enjoy watching them on offense if they are clicking...OU people are comparing manuel to clayton for those who wont read the OU boards...lol
