A guy with the name "The Thunder from Down Under"? Why wouldn't NFL teams want a guy like that, especially since he can back it up.
As a Recruit
A long time ago in a land far away, in a place called Hawaii, Paul Johnson was an offensive coordinator. While there, he met a young player by the name of Paul Manera. Johnson and Manera stayed in touch after they both departed from the Rainbow Warriors for greener pastures. Fast forward quite a few years, and Johnson is now the head coach of the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets and Manera has moved to Australia to teach them about American football and was a "gridiron" coach, as they say Down Under.
