Maty Mauk of Missouri has compared himself in style to Johnny Manziel.

"I feel like I have the ability to do similar things, and that's what people are expecting of me back in Columbia (Mo.)," Mauk said Wednesday at SEC Media Days.

Mauk threw 11 touchdowns and two interceptions while filling in for the injured James Franklin last season.

"The stuff he could do was unbelievable. People had never (seen) it. You're a freshman Heisman Trophy winner," Mauk said. "He could turn anything into a big play. That's what I liked about him, and that's why I watch him on film."
