Texas A&M Aggies and former Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel is back on the gridiron. Over the weekend, Manziel took his first snaps with the new upstart Fan Controlled Football League, which allows for fans to call plays for the teams on the field.
“We’re having a blast,’’ Manziel said, according to 247Sports. “This league is fun, and everybody that’s here is having a good time, so we’ll keep getting better.’’
