Johnny Manziel, star quarterback at Texas A&M and first-round draft pick for the Cleveland Browns in 2013, has not played a game of professional football since 2014. After getting drafted 22nd overall in the first round, Manziel went on to throw 0 touchdowns and 2 over five games and then 7 touchdowns and 5 interceptions the year after that.

Everything about the Manziel era with the Browns was bad. Bad decisions, bad media attention and most importantly, bad football. Manziel played so poorly, in fact, that he was cut before the end of his four year deal with the Browns concluded. To make matters worse, he wasn't picked up by another NFL team and was forced out of football.

A few years went by and I had thought the entire world had moved on from Johnny Football. But Manziel had other plans, apparently, as he recently signed a contract to play for the Canadian Football League's Montreal Alouettes.

I have a lot of gripes with the sports media world, mostly their tendency to overreact to anything and everything for page views and clicks (Steve Nash/Dwight Howard with the Lakers, Trae Young, Phil Mickelson at the U.S. Open, etc.). Manziel even has a podcast out with Barstool Sports featuring himself and his agent called "Comeback $ZN" and ESPN2 played hours of Manziel Texas A&M highlights before his CFL debut.

I wanted to wait until Johnny Manziel's first start in the CFL with the Montreal Alouettes before I wrote this post. In all honesty, I would have completely missed the game if it wasn't for the ridiculous amount of media and social media coverage this one specific CFL game was getting. I didn't even know the CFL was in season and this was the first time I'd ever seen any CFL footage. I completely missed the game and just watched the highlights from the game.

Actually, there were no highlights because my timeline was flooded with video after video of Manziel throwing an interception. It happened four different times. Let's check his stat line real quick.

People, and I'm throwing Manziel into this, probably thought the CFL is a joke. In baseball terms, it's basically AAA and a lot of guys had to work for years just to reach a starting spot in the lineup. But these are highly skilled players and many of them have the potential to compete at the NFL level. Former Pro-Bowl players have gone down to play in the CFL and CFL All-Stars have gone on to have successful NFL careers.

But looking back at Manziel, I just want to take a look back at his timeline and let his history speak for its self. For the record, I think he ran out of second chances years ago.
