THE SHEER AUDACITY!

Johnny Manziel plans provide a little twist to his Pro Day for NFL eyes: He will wear helmet and shoulder pads when he throws.

Apparently this violates some sacred Pro Day creed.

Analyst: "Johnny Manziel wore a helmet and pads to his pro day? That's just bad form; cocky. He disrespected the history of draft pro days."

@espn is reporting live from and spending 80% of its morning on Johnny Manziel's pro day. He is not even going to be first QB taken! Snooze.

Espn needs to chill with the Manziel hype. It's just a pro day fellas

ESPN airing Johnny Manziel's pro day. I think the term "jump the shark" is appropriate in this case.
