In an interview with host Bo Mattingly on ESPN Arkansas, Loggains said that he exchanged texts with Manziel as the Browns scurried to trade up during the middle of the first round.
Loggains said the Browns knew they had to get in front of Kansas City at No. 23 to get Manziel.
“He shoots me a text and says, ‘I wish you guys would come and get me. Hurry up and draft me because I want to be there. I want to wreck this league together,’” Loggains said.
“When I got that text, I forwarded it to the owner and to the head coach. I’m like, ‘This guy wants to be here. He wants to be part of it.’ Soon as that happened, Mr. Haslam said, ‘Alright, pull the trigger, we’re trading up to go get this guy.’”
