Everybody has off days, but when you’re Johnny Manziel, the spotlight on those days burns a little brighter. The Cleveland Browns rookie is finding out that after a rough day at practice, his struggles are being broadcast for the masses.
Manziel threw three interceptions on Tuesday during team OTAs, and while nobody is likely to hear if backup quarterbacks elsewhere in the NFL such as Brandon Weeden or Christian Ponder struggle during their organized team activities, the moment Manziel does it becomes noteworthy.
Manziel’s first turnover came at the hands of undrafted free safety Robert Nelson during a receiver-cornerback drill, according to the Akron Beacon Journal‘s Nate Ulrich.
That was just the start of Manziel’s struggles though. The quarterback threw a pick-six to veteran Donte Whitner during a full-squad scrimmage, and his final interception of the day came courtesy of Joe Haden, who grabbed a poorly thrown sideline route and took it back to the house.
It wasn’t all bad for Manziel, who reportedly completed several difficult throws during the session to help erase the memory of the erratic throws from earlier in the day.

Jennings Leads the Way
Change and youth have defined the Vikings offseason, with new Head Coach Mike Zimmer in charge of the operation and a bit of a youth movement underway at several positions. But on Day 1 of OTAs, it was a returning veteran who led the way. Receiver Greg Jennings was catching everything in sight, from Teddy Bridgewater bombs to precision sideline lasers from Matt Cassel.
It was Jennings who was on the receiving end of the day’s most impressive throw – an on-the-run 50-yard heave from Bridgewater as he escaped the pocket. The pass landed softly in the veteran receiver’s hands for what looked to be a near-touchdown; the play happened across and on the opposite end of the field from where I stood. It was the type of throw you don’t see every day from every quarterback, and it was the type of catch that happens when a veteran receiver sticks with a play all the way through the whistle to give his quarterback every opportunity to make a play.
Bridgewater Displays Discipline
After connecting with Jennings earlier in practice on such a long pass, it’d be easy to understand a little over-ambition from Bridgewater. But the rookie displayed some veteran decision making a few moments later. He had a receiver running an out-and-up route who had beaten his defender and flashed open, but a safety was lurking over the top and would’ve been in position for a play on the ball. Rather than risking that outcome, Bridgewater held back and found Adrian Peterson in the flat for a check down and what would’ve been a first down gain.
