Jerry Jones Said Manziel Was Among Cowboys' Top 5-6 Players on Draft Board

Cleveland Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel has been on a seesaw throughout the team's depth chart this season. He's gone from starting the year as a backup to being promoted to starter and then entered Week 12 as a third-stringer.

While he is miring in a tough situation in Cleveland, things could have played out much differently for Manziel.

On Tuesday, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones told 105.3 The Fan's K&C Masterpiece show (h/t the Dallas Morning News'Jon Machota) that Manziel was among the team's five or six top targets in the 2014 NFL draft.
