CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The Cleveland Browns are looking at taking their starting quarterback of the future in the upcoming 2014 NFL draft.

While names like Texas A&M's Johnny Manziel, Louisville's Teddy Bridgewater and Central Florida's Blake Bortles have been thrown out as possible picks, it is still unknown which way the Browns are leaning.

Hall of Fame quarterback Warren Moon said one advantage for any rookie quarterback coming to Cleveland is the talent that team has on the offensive side of the ball.

"It is always important for a young quarterback to come in and have some talent around him to take the pressure off him," Moon said. "With the talent they have in Gordon and Cameron, those guys can make the catches and make it easier for him.

"With a solid running game as well for a young quarterback, and all of those guys are very important. Guys like Russell Wilson and Colin Kaepernick had some good teams around them, and they did not feel like they had to go out and throw for 300 yards every week."

Moon had quite the playing career during his time, a nine-time Pro Bowler, as well as being named the 1997 Pro Bowl MVP.

He threw for 49,325 yards during his time as quarterback for the Houston Oilers, Minnesota Vikings, Seattle Seahawks and the Kansas City Chiefs. He also threw for another 21,228 yards as the quarterback of the Canadian Football League's Edmonton Eskimos.

The quarterback getting most of the talk leading up to the draft is Johnny Manziel, who is coming off a great two years as the quarterback for Texas A&M.

While Moon loved watching him play in college, he does have some worries for his transition to the NFL.

"Johnny Manziel is one of the most exciting college quarterbacks that I have ever watched," Moon said. "The things he was able to do over the past two years were just amazing to watch. I think in the NFL game, some of the things he got away with in college is going to be harder to do because you are playing against a lot better and faster players.

"He is going to have to learn the game from the pocket, and still use that ability to get out in the pocket, but not rely on that."

Regardless on where any of these future draft picks go, Moon does have one piece of advice for them.

"Just work," Moon said. "It is all about working. You have to be the hardest worker on the team. You have to put in more time than anyone else as a young player because you want to earn the respect of your teammates. If you aren't working as hard as they are or if not even harder, you won't get that respect."
