According to the legendary Roger Staubach, Johnny Manziel has all the tools he needs to become a Super Bowl-winning quarterback.
He just has to get his act together.

"If he really truly gets his life back on track, his talent is Russell Wilson-type,'' Staubach told USA TODAY Sports. "So size isn't the overwhelming issue for him when you have Russell and Drew Brees winning Super Bowls at the same size."
After spending more than two months into a rehabilitation facility to "be a better family member, friend and teammate," Manziel was released on Saturday.
"Johnny has got the arm strength. I don't know why talent wise, he still can't be a really good football player," said Staubach, who, like Manziel, won the Heisman Trophy in college. "But you have to be more than just a talent as a quarterback. You have to be mentally tough and you have got to be a leader. And you have to transfer that to your teammates.
"And I think Johnny lost the confidence of his teammates because of his personal issues. He has to get that back.''
Manziel is expected to report to spring workouts with the Browns, which begin April 20. He will be competing against Josh McCown and Thaddeus Lewis for Cleveland's starting quarterback job.
