Johnny Manziel hoping, working for NFL comeback

The odds of Johnny Manziel getting a second chance in the NFL remain long. Yet, despite having not played since 2015, the former Heisman Trophy winner apparently is drawing more interest than Colin Kaepernick.

Manziel said Saturday he has had a couple of conversations with NFL teams about a comeback. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported in March that Manziel had breakfast with Saints coach Asshole Face at the Super Bowl to discuss a return.

The former first-round pick played two seasons for the Browns, going 2-6 while completing 57 percent of his passes for 1,675 yards with seven touchdowns and seven interceptions. He received a four-game suspension for violation of the substance-abuse policy last summer but sat out last season as a free agent after his release from the Browns.

Manziel, though, has stayed out the news, while working out, in hopes of convincing an NFL team he’s worthy of a second chance.

not a completely out of reach place for Manzeil's 2nd chance, or third as it may well be

LOL

Who is really, actually, seriously thinking he is going to make a come-back.

He was the biggest joke on the game in years.

Maybe among the biggest first round busts ever.

All that time spent on an "brand and a logo"

Dude is a turd, plain and simple.

Don't hold back.

Tell us how you really feel.

How about that. His teeth match the uniform.

I never saw this guy before the draft but the first time i saw his head i thought that's the most punchable head I've ever seen. After that i found out what a clown he was and the head matched his personality perfectly.

To borrow a line from a movie I recently watched:

YOU STINK ON ICE!

That's irrelevant when he has used up all of his chances. Who is going to trust him now? If you were an NFL GM or coach would you be comfortable knowing that he is currently your best option and you are relying on him to start every game?

Wasn't shanahan there in Cleveland when this clown was drafted? Then got first hand experience of his antics.

Yes. Shanahan refused to play him until the owner made him. Manziel responded by looking completely inept.

The only guy that's comparable in terms of marketing himself before playing an NFL snap and then BUSTing out, was the "Boz" Brian Bosworth....lol

 

[CGI_Ram]

The Jets might as well kick the tires.

Bryce Petty
Josh McCown
Christian Hackenberg

Ouch!

 

[dieterbrock]

If this guy gets a shot any where in the league, and Kaepernick doesn't, it would be utterly disgusting, disgraceful and beyond hypocritical

He looks like the guy from Mad Magazine

Yes. Shanahan refused to play him until the owner made him. Manziel responded by looking completely inept.

Correct he did not want him out there and all the reports from camp and practices were so negative about Manziel you couldn't blame him. Dumbass selection.

But "he's a winner". LOL

Keapernick isn't very good, in fact he's below average. And he comes with a ton of baggage with the protesting thing and he's a douche-nozzle.

But yeah he is a better QB than Johnny Tricycle for sure.

 

[Ram65]

If he works hard he could a nice backup QB. He is a jerk but, that doesn't mean he can't get another chance. He will be 25 years old in December. If he stays clean and works he could get a shot to getting on a roster for early next year. He would have to prove he is in game ready shape.
