He's ready to go. He's still learning. He's a rookie, he's still learning. If Coach [Mike Pettine] is ready to give him the nod he'll be ready to go. But he's going to have some bumps and bruises just like any other rookie quarterback would have or any other player in the NFL would have or any other player in any professional sport. I'm one of his biggest supporters."

James' campaign for Manziel concluded with, "He's part of the family so of course I want him out there. But that's for the coach to decide."

Drake also voiced his want for Manziel to start. On Monday, TMZ captured the rapper on video as he was leaving Hakkasan in Beverly Hills.
