Gregory Brian Mancz (born April 23, 1992) is an American football center who is a free agent. He played college football at Toledo, where he was a four-year starter at several positions along the offensive line. He earned various All-American and All-Mid-American Conference (MAC) honors during his college career. His senior season in 2014, he won the Vern Smith Leadership Award, which is given to the best player in the MAC. Mancz went undrafted in the 2015 NFL draft and signed with the Texans shortly thereafter. Due to a season-ending injury to Nick Martin, Mancz was the Texans' starting center for the entire 2016 season.

Early life

Mancz was a two-year starter for the Anderson High School football team in Cincinnati, Ohio. He played in the state championship game in 2007 and 2008, with Anderson High winning the title in 2007. He played right tackle his junior season in 2008 and left tackle his senior season in 2009.[1]

He was named a Second-team All-American by the Football Writers Association of America (FWAA).[25] He was the only player from the MAC to be named to the FWAA All-American team that year and was also the first Toledo player to be named an All-American since Eric Page in 2011.[22] He also won the Vern Smith Leadership Award, which is given to the best player in the MAC.[26] He was the first offensive lineman to ever win the Vern Smith Leadership Award and the first Toledo player since Bruce Gradkowski in 2005 to win the award.[26] Mancz earned First-team All-MAC and Academic All-MAC honors as well.[26] [27] He also won Toledo football's Jim Nicholson Award, which is given to "the player contributing the most toward the success of the team".[28] He was a team captain in 2014 and was also made a permanent team captain.[29] [28] [30]

Professional career

Pre-draft

Mancz attended the 2015 NFL Combine but did not work out due to his January 2015 shoulder injury.[39] He was rated the eighth best center in the 2015 NFL draft by NFLDraftScout.com.[40] Lance Zierlein of NFL.com said that "Based on Mancz's tape and history, one would have to expect that he will find a way to succeed in the league." Zierlein projected him as a sixth or seventh round pick.[41] Chris Burke of SI.com projected Mancz as a mid to late fifth round pick.[42]

Houston Texans

Mancz signed with the Houston Texans on May 8, 2015, after going undrafted in the 2015 Draft.[43] [44] He played in the first three games of the 2015 season but was inactive for the next five games.[45] [46] [47] In late October, he suffered a knee injury that required surgery.[48] [46] [49] He was placed on season-ending injured reserve on November 3, 2015.[50] [43] He was taken off injured reserve on February 8, 2016.[43]

In August 2016, he became the team's starting center after a season-ending injury to Nick Martin.[51] [52] [53] He started all 16 games for the Texans in 2016. He also started the team's two playoff games.[54]

With Martin returning from injury in 2017, Mancz began the season as the team's primary backup along the interior of the offensive line.[55] During the Week 1 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars on September 10, Mancz replaced starting left guard Xavier Su'a-Filo to begin the second half but was shifted to right guard after an injury to Jeff Allen.[56] [55] [57] Mancz then started the Week 2 game against the Cincinnati Bengals on September 14 at right guard. On September 18, Texans head coach Bill O'Brien stated that Mancz would remain the starting right guard even if Allen is healthy.[58] Mancz then started the Week 3 game against the New England Patriots on September 24.[57] Mancz missed the Week 4 game against the Tennessee Titans on October 1 due to a knee injury.[59] [57]

On August 31, 2018, Mancz signed a two-year contract extension with the Texans through the 2020 season.[60]

On September 5, 2020, Mancz was released by the Texans and signed to the practice squad the next day.[61] [62] He was elevated to the active roster on November 7, November 14, November 21, and January 2, 2021, for the team's weeks 9, 10, 11, and 17 games against the Jaguars, Cleveland Browns, Patriots, and Titans, and reverted to the practice squad after each game.[63] [64] [65] [66] Mancz was released on January 7, 2021.[67]

On August 29, 2023, Mancz was released by the Bills and re-signed to the practice squad.[81] [82] He was not signed to a reserve/future contract after the season and thus became a free agent when his practice squad contract expired.[83]
