Former Chiefs exec says team was enamored with Johnny Manziel

Imagine for a minute a scenario where Johnny Manziel was the young drafted quarterback that Andy Reid was tasked to work with.

In a world where Patrick Mahomes is the face of the franchise, such an idea sounds absolutely ridiculous (and completely unwanted), but according to former Kansas City Chiefs front office exec Will Lewis, the powers-that-be were all enamored with Manziel until the Cleveland Browns swept in and removed any potential for such a scenario.

Lewis, the former director of pro scouting for the Chiefs early in John Dorsey‘s tenure as general manager, recently spoke to Herbie Teope of NFL.
