Took it with a grain of salt as it came from one of those parody accounts always posting about "see _______ new uniforms for 2014 season..." in which we all know they aren't true uniforms.

"Big time maintenance"

Not sure Ryan Mallett didn't fall under that category as well, of course not to Johnny Football levels, but nonetheless this is intriguing if it's real.

Meh, I think it's probably fake. Most of us didn't need an insider report to come to most of those conclusions about Manziel.

Photoshopping a picture is childsplay these days.  Faking that report and making it sound authentic would have taken a hell of a lot more work.  Not saying it wasn't done, but faking that report is a lot more impressive than faking a picture IMO.

Maybe an old school pro football scout employed by the Patriots?  It's just an abbreviation for Toughness, which I'm assuming is mental toughness, not physical toughness that would be covered under their durability rating.  If you were typing this out on hundreds of players you might start abbreviating things too.

Real or fake, somebody put a lot of work into it and it seems spot on.  

For the record, though, I think "cocky" is a positive when it comes to QB, CB or HC.

I'm usually the first one to think that something, ANYTHING on the internet is fake.  That report seems unbelievably authentic  If that is a fake, someone did an incredibly good job with it.  The fact that the logo is old means nothing--do you think every field scout throws away his old forms the minute the marketing department updates the team logo?
