Johnny Manziel was once told he will be ‘bigger than LeBron James’ for Cleveland after he was selected by the Browns in the 2014 NFL Draft - and he was out the league by 2016.
Manziel became known as ‘Johnny Football’ as he dominated the college scene following a redshirt 2011 season for Texas A&M. In 2012, Manziel’s popularity surged to remarkable heights as he was named the Heisman Trophy winner, the top individual award in the college game, after 43 total touchdowns.
He was a consensus All-American as the face of college football, and he played one more season for the Aggies in 2013 before entering the 2014 NFL Draft. The Cleveland Browns opted to spend the 22nd overall pick on the quarterback, but his time with the franchise - and in the NFL - was short-lived, despite the hype.
