I’ve been saying it since Bill O’Brien was hired but QB Blake Bortles looks like the clear favorite to be drafted No. 1 by HOU #NFLCombine — Dane Brugler (@dpbrugler) February 23, 2014

Johnny Manziel’s short shuttle (4.03) is second best since ’06 for QBs. Behind Matt Scott’s 3.99 — Josh Norris (@JoshNorris) February 23, 2014

High ranking #Raiders exec on meeting with Johnny Manziel: “Clear he’s taking everything serious. Surprised us a bit.” — Adam Caplan (@caplannfl) February 23, 2014

Houston would be crazy to pass on @JManziel2 Wish he would slip to 7 Bucs-never will happen- JM will be a big STAR! http://t.co/a6zqgp77t6 — Dick Vitale (@DickieV) February 21, 2014

“I want to be No.1 in the draft. I want to be the best. I want to be 1 of the greatest of all time.” Jadeveon Clowney at the Combine today — NFL on ESPN (@ESPNNFL) February 23, 2014

Interesting RT @JohnMiddlekauff: Twitter is MUCH higher than NFL teams on Bridgewater. I won’t be shocked to see him drop out of the top 10 — Lance Zierlein (@LanceZierlein) February 23, 2014

Perspective on Clowney’s 21 reps? BP measures strength & endurance not explosiveness. Peppers (24), Quinn (22), Pierre-Paul (19) at Combine. — Rob Rang (@RobRang) February 23, 2014

Johnny Manziel came up quarter-inch short of 6 feet — 5-11 3/4, 207. People will make big deal, but kid can play. #NFLCombine — Gil Brandt (@Gil_Brandt) February 21, 2014

Dee Ford says Clowney “plays like he’s a blind dog in a meat house.” Yes, Monday’s drills just got that much more interesting. — Rich Eisen (@richeisen) February 23, 2014

Johnny Manziel’s hand size just short of 10 inches (9 7/8) very much a positive. All-weather size. Can control ball, throwing & handling — Chris Mortensen (@mortreport) February 21, 2014

Bill Polian describes Jadeveon Clowney as once in generation pass rusher and invokes Dwight Freeney, Robert Mathis, Julius Peppers. — Ed Werder (@Edwerderespn) February 20, 2014

Ahmad Dixon on Bortles: “A big physical guy. Outstanding QB. Can’t bring him down with arm tackle. Good runner, 2. He’ll do it n NFL, 2.” — John McClain (@McClain_on_NFL) February 23, 2014

The #Texans strength coach? He was with Clowney at South Carolina and the two are “very close” per one source. Worth noting. — Matt Miller (@nfldraftscout) February 22, 2014
