The most exciting player to ever suit up at Texas A&M, Manziel celebrates a first-quarter touchdown during a game against the Alabama Crimson Tide at Kyle Field on Sept. 14, 2013.  Even though his teams finished third and fourth in their own division of the SEC — and were 3-6 vs. Alabama, Auburn, LSU, Florida and Missouri (the league’s division elite in his two seasons) — Manziel’s wildly successful dual-threat style lifted a stale program to new heights. He finished with 9,989 total yards (7,820 passing) and 93 TDs (63 passing) in just two seasons at College Station. (Scott Halleran/Getty Images)
