NFL Network’s Albert Breer reports thats how many questions Manziel answered correctly out of 50 at the NFL Scouting Combine back in February. Comparing some of the game’s greats to the Heisman-winning Texas A&M quarterback, Peyton Manning and Drew Brees each had a 28, while Tom Brady posted a 33. In this year's quarterback draft class, although Manziel was trumped by Ivy League prospect Jeff Mathews of Cornell (40), he did beat out fellow first-round projections Blake Bortles of Central Florida (28) and Teddy Bridgewater of Lousiville (20) If you're wondering how some of Sporting News' staff did on Wonderlic and what exactly it tests, check out these results....

But, unlike others, he didn’t let that get him down. MORE: NFL Draft 2017 - Round 2 King was the only player — who didn’t get drafted in Round 1 — returning to the green room for Day 2. The four other attendees who weren’t called on Day 1 (DeShone Kizer, Cameron Robinson, Malik McDowell and Chidobe Awuzie) all decided to skip Rounds 2 and 3 in Philly. King was in good spirits, especially after being selected by the Packers with the first pick of the second round (No....

Admit it. You want to see what he’ll do next. Cleveland made a splash with the No. 1 pick in the 2018 NFL Draft by taking the most polarizing quarterback in college football. The Browns get a walk-on, a Heisman Trophy winner, a brash trash-talker and a risky pick all rolled into one. For a franchise that will have its 29th different starting quarterback since 1999 in Week 1, this was a big decision....

Green Bay met with Missouri’s Drew Lock on Monday, according to a report from Yahoo Sports, which cites an unidentified league source. The team also tried to schedule a visit with Duke signal-caller Daniel Jones, according to NFL Network. But, the timing didn’t work out, the report says. Lock and Jones are both expected to be picked within the first three rounds of this month’s draft. Lock is the third ranked quarterback in this year’s class, according to Sporting News, while Jones is directly behind him in fourth....

A Patriots locker room attendant who was given a ball by an NFL employee tried to introduce an unapproved kicking ball, or K ball, during the AFC Championship Game, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. But an interesting wrinkle: The league employee was in charge of collecting footballs for charity, which may not have been happening, after all. Schefter had more details about the now-fired official when he appeared on “Outside the Lines” on Wednesday evening....

Minnesota, which had fallen into a 21-7 hole in its Week 2 game at Green Bay, appeared to score a touchdown just before halftime when Kirk Cousins found Stefon Diggs on a 3-yard pass. However, the replay official reviewed the play for possible pass interference, and running back Dalvin Cook was caught blocking a Packers defender downfield, a move that was deemed to be offensive pass interference. Below is NFL senior vice president of officiating Al Riveron’s explanation of the overturned touchdown....

But at least for now, the league is fighting back. There is no easy way out for the NFL regarding how to best handle fallout from a small number of players who continue to kneel during the national anthem, a protest that has alienated part of the league’s fan base and contributed to a television-ratings decline since Colin Kaepernick began genuflecting in August 2016. The easiest way would be succumbing to President Donald Trump’s ongoing demand that the league force everybody to stand....

New England has re-signed Stephen Gostkowski to a two-year deal, the team announced Wednesday. While terms of the contract weren’t announced, ESPN reported Tuesday that it was for a two-year deal. The move comes after rumors started swirling that the 49ers were interested in signing Gostkowski. San Francisco already has placed the franchise tag on Robbie Gould, making its reported interest in Gostkowski intriguing. Gould and the 49ers reportedly could not agree on a multi-year deal, which resulted in the franchise tag....

One player won’t be around to see it firsthand after announcing his retirement Monday, while another notable absence from last week could come to an end soon. Three things that matter Arbitrator rules against Antonio Brown This isn’t the news Antonio Brown wanted to hear considering the Raiders wide receiver threatened to sit out this season if he isn’t allowed to wear his old helmet and reportedly vowed to hold the league liable for any future head injuries he may endure....

But as Monroe became more and more concerned about the potential negatives — such as addiction and accidental overdose — he began to research marijuana as an alternative. Now he’s convinced, he’s outspoken, he’s involved and he’s on a mission: He wants a marijuana-friendly NFL. “We’re no longer in an era where the government decided that marijuana is illegal with no scientific basis,” Monroe told Sporting News. “Now we have the ability to look at it and determine what it’s comprised of and how those things have an effect on our bodies, and we know now that marijuana has a very positive effect on our bodies, especially in the case of the issues that are brought up through playing football....
