In a double blast from the past, June Jones truly believes former Cleveland Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel could be best CFL player ever.

Deep breathes, fellow members of the human species. I know. I know. You might still be reeling from Johnny Manziel overload from a few years ago, but hear June Jones out.

“I think he’d be the best player to ever play up here,” Jones said, via CFL.ca. “He can throw it and he can run it like nobody ever has been able to do.”

For those unaware, Jones is now the head coach of the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.

“I think he’s a phenomenal player,” Jones said. “I think it was kind of unfortunate what happened to him in the NFL, some of that was by his own means, too.”

There is a reason Jones brings up Johnny Football, as the Tiger-Cats nearly signed him this season, but never did. However, apparently, they attend to go after him for the 2018 campaign.

“I think he’ll either be with us or he won’t,” Jones said.

Jones raved about Manziel’s workout for the Tiger-Cats, too.

“I saw it in college, I saw it on the film, I saw it against Alabama, I saw it against everybody,” Jones said. “The things that he would do up here, he excelled at at the National Football League level. I think he has a tremendous upside and it really is in his lap to decide if that’s what he wants to do.”
