Jameis Winston went from a household name to getting, potentially, in a great amount of trouble with the law for rape charges, then to winning the Heisman and a National Championship with Florida State University.

Auburn beat Alabama on a field goal return of 109 yards with time expiring. The college football 2013 season could have been a year to remember but for some with bad memories, they want to forget.

The quarterback was considered a high risk high reward type of player. Manziel shocked fans yet again with 4,114 yards, 37 touchdowns and 1,410 rushing yards, which is better than his 2012 Heisman season 3,706 yards, 26 touchdowns and 759 rushing yards. Manziel accomplished 9,989 total yards, equating to 93 touchdowns in his two seasons. He is entering the NFL draft and hopes to be a top draft pick. 4057 40

After the Senior Bowl, Clowny received praise from the owner of the Texans. And after the NFL scouting combine(February 22-25) and pro days, teams will be locked in at who they will choose in the upcoming draft.
Every team except the Indianapolis Colts and the Washington Redskins have a first round draft pick. The draft order and team needs are different because nobody really knows what the team will do. Experts on drafts always have a different mock drafts than others. Some of the NFL.com’s experts have defensive end Jadeveon Clowney going first overall, but another has Louisville quarterback Teddy Bridgewater jumping ahead at number one. One has offensive tackle Jake Matthews falling all the way to the tenth pick. Nobody knows which team will going to take the chance with Johnny Manziel.
