Mocking the Draft podcast: Johnny Manziel, Manning Passing Academy highlight Episode 3

On the third episode of the podcast, Johnny Football was a hot topic.

Brett Davis-USA TODAY Sports

Johnny Manziel made news this week for leaving the Manning Passing Academy early due to "dehyrdration." On the latest episode of the Mocking the Draft podcast, we discuss Johnny Football's latest indiscretion and what it means for his NFL Draft stock.

We also took a look at which quarterbacks helped themselves at the Manning Passing Academy, including Stephen Morris and Bryn Renner.

To finish the show, we switched gears and examined the crop of wide receivers eligible for the 2014 NFL Draft, while taking more of your questions. The questions led to a lengthy discussion on this year's group of senior cornerbacks, more quarterback talk, and a quick discussion on BYU linebacker Kyle Van Noy and Arizona State defensive tackle Will Sutton.
