EJ Manuel was the 16th overall pick in the 2013 NFL Draft by the Buffalo Bills. Lasting only 4 seasons on the team, Manuel was not able to find lasting success as he finished his career with the Raiders. After his five years in the NFL, Manuel changed his focus to TV joining the ACC Network giving him a new platform to showcase his talents.  

Before the NFL and TV, the Virginia native was a college star at Florida State University. Manuel led the Seminoles to a conference championship in 2012. He made a name for himself, resulting in his recognition as a top college quarterback.

Manuel finished his career with 47 touchdowns and over 7,700 yards with most of the production coming in his junior and senior years. In 2011, he led the Noles to a 9-4 season, ending the year with a bowl win against Notre Dame. The following year, he improved, resulting in the team reaching 12 wins and only 2 losses. As conference champions, Manuel and the 'Noles won the Orange Bowl against Northern Illinois. 

Making a bet with Mark Richt late in the show added $500 to EJ's wallet as he showed once again he still has his talent of throwing the football.
