04:46 PM ET 11.27 | Heisman Trophy front-runner Johnny Manziel has not been able to speak with the media this season because of a rule from Texas A&M Aggies head coach Kevin Sumlin prohibiting freshman from such interaction, but for the first time this season, Johnny Football has broken his silence. Anticipation was building for Manziel's first interaction with the media, but he didn't give anyone much to work with. "I don't know if there's anything I've been dying to say," Manziel said. There is a lot of hype surrounding Manziel and his Heisman campaign is in full swing. Despite possibly being the first freshman in college football history to win the Heisman Trophy, Johnny Football has been keeping a level head and is showing the focus of a seasoned veteran.

The media were less like sharks in bloody water, and more like responsible people reporting actually newsworthy information.

Saw last night his stats are better than St. Timmy's and Cam's the year they won it.

But that may not mean much. His stats are still behind Baylor's Nick Florence and a couple of others.
