Former NFL quarterback Johnny Manziel will throw at Texas A&M’s pro day on Tuesday, according to Bruce Feldman of Sports Illustrated (Twitter link).
Manziel worked out at the University of San Diego’s pro day last week, but only 13 teams were in attendance. Texas A&M obviously has a much larger profile than USD, especially in terms of football, and all 32 NFL clubs will be on hand to watch Manziel and the rest of the Aggie prospects.
Manziel was thought to be interested in working out a deal to play in the Canadian Football League during the 2018 campaign, and was in fact offered a contract by the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in January. However, Manziel and his team reportedly weren’t pleased with the terms of the pact, and he’s now scheduled to play in the upcoming Spring League. The former first-round pick is reportedly amenable to a minimum salary or a practice squad slot.
Although Manziel is still only 25 years old, he hasn’t played in the NFL since the 2015 campaign. In eight career starts for the Browns, the former Heisman trophy winner completed 57% of his passes for 1,675 yards, seven touchdowns, and seven interceptions.
And still, nobody cares.
Please please please please please please go way please please please please go away
Good for him, hope he gets another chance at the NFL again. The guy partied too hard and paid the consequences but I truly believe he’s cleaned up his act and is committed to being a new person. Anywhere he goes, he’ll work his ass off and that’s more than what half of the back up QB’s can say/do
Keep your head up Johnny the XFL is right around the corner! I’m so sick of seeing this clown in the headlines.
I think his best chance of working his way back into the NFL was by signing with Hamilton or some other CFL team. Not great money but you at least get to show you still have some skills that can be developed.
Stay away from the NFL .
