Johnny Manziel: 'Houston Texans should pick me in Draft'

Johnny Manziel has said that the Houston Texans should use the first pick in this year's NFL Draft to acquire him.

The former Heisman Trophy winner, who played for Texans A&M in college, is projected to be a first-round selection in May's Draft.

The quarterback told the Houston Chronicle: "I want [the Texans] to say absolutely, without a doubt, with 100% certainty, that I'm who they want. I want everybody from the janitor at Reliant Stadium to the front office executive assistant all the way up to [owner] Bob McNair to say, 'This kid is 100%, can't miss'.

"They're a team I've watched every year since I was a kid. I want to be the number one pick. It's something I've dreamed about. With the pieces they already have in place, I could fit in, I'm a Texas kid. The state means a lot to me.

"[Letting the Jacksonville Jaguars select him with the third pick] would be the worst decision they've ever made. I'd be in the same division playing against them twice a year. Sorry, but you just turned that chip on my shoulder from a Frito into a Dorito."

The Texans have the first pick after finishing the 2013 NFL season with the worst record in the league.
