Kyle Shanahan likes what he sees so far from Johnny Manziel, saying that the Cleveland Browns rookie reminds him of Robert Griffin III.
Shanahan, who was hired this offseason as the Browns' offensive coordinator, said in a recent interview with USA Today Sports that Manziel's skill set is "very similar" to Griffin's.
"Johnny and Robert are very similar," Shanahan, who spent the last four years as the Washington Redskins' offensive coordinator, told USA Today Sports. "They're both talented guys who can make plays with their legs.
"But there comes a time in the NFL when they're going to keep you in the pocket, and you're going to have to have that ability to make the throws with your arm and mind. And Johnny, just like Robert, has that arm talent and intelligence to do that."
