EJ Manuel says that a number of NFL franchises are considering picking him in the NFL draft.

Former Florida State quarterback EJ Manuel has admitted that the Philadelphia Eagles have their eye on him for the upcoming NFL draft.

Manuel is expected to be selected higher up the draft order than first thought, and the player said that there is also interest from Cleveland Browns, New York Jets and Buffalo Bills.

"They want me pretty bad," Manuel told Sports Net. "I think it's just a matter of who takes me first, because I know the Eagles may want me, the Cleveland Browns may want me, the Buffalo Bills and the Jets.

"I think those are all sequential picks, you know what I mean, within those top 13 picks or whatever. I'm just hoping one team loves me, because really, that's all you need, one team to fall in love with you."

Manuel threw for 3392 yards at a 68% completion in his final year at Florida State.
