Fins are all kinds of incompetant; called Manuel when picking Jordan

E.J. Manuel says he didn't share the rest of the football world's surprise when the Buffalo Bills made him the first and only quarterback selected in the first round of the NFL draft on Thursday night. The Florida State signal caller was in on the secret that the Bills coveted him highly and the two sides officially became a pair when the team selected him with the No. 16 pick after trading back from the eighth slot earlier in the night.
Manuel was taken offguard earlier in the night, however, when someone accidentally dialed a wrong number and gave him a slight rush of excitement over the possibility of top 5 money.
Here's what Manuel told the Dan Patrick Show on Friday (via the show's producer):
Well, that must have been awkward. Did Manuel call Jordan across the green room and say "Uh, it's for you? It's the Dolphins?" Did he consider impersonating Jordan and say there's no way he'd take his talents to South Beach if drafted? Did he just say "wrong number?"
These are questions we need answered, but the Bills have to be happy with the way their new quarterback handled things. He'll have to deal with a lot of curveballs once he's trying to win games in Buffalo.
