Johnny Manziel Reportedly Will Throw to Christian Kirk, WRs at Texas A&M Pro Day

Former NFL quarterback Johnny Manziel will reportedly throw to Christian Kirk and the rest of the Texas A&M receivers at the Aggies' pro day Tuesday, according to Bruce Feldman of Sports Illustrated.

It won't be Manziel's first pro day as he attempts to make his NFL comeback: He also threw at the University of San Diego's pro day last Thursday.

Manziel, 25, has been out of the NFL since 2015, when he last appeared in a game for the Cleveland Browns. In his brief career, he accumulated 1,675 passing yards, seven touchdowns and seven interceptions while completing just 57 percent of his passes. He also rushed for 259 yards and a touchdown.

In college, Manziel made his name as an athletic gunslinger who was able to make plays with both his arm and his legs. In the NFL, however, he became infamous for the legal issues, partying and off-field concerns that led to his release.

At San Diego's pro day, Manziel told Feldman he's been sober for nearly 90 days and hasn't used hard drugs in nearly a year. He also said he's changed the crowd he interacts with to limit temptations:

"When I first got in the league, did I have some leeway? Sure I did, but I have exhausted all leeway and all second chances. This isn't the second chance. This is the 35th chance. This is the last of the last chances to show people that I've made a drastic change in my life, and it's for the better and I'm happy with where I'm at.

"I need to be safe for myself. I've let multiple people know—guys that had been around me for years, I reached out to a multitude of people and said, 'Listen, I've never been selfish in my football career. I've always flown you guys to every game. I've gotten you tickets. I've done everything. But for now, I'm selfish with what I need to do because I don't have room for you guys to come around and for me to get off on a bad path. It just can't happen. I'm happy. I'm married and I'm doing what I'm doing.'"

Manziel is fighting an uphill battle to return to the NFL. His off-field concerns from the past aside, there were also questions in his young career about whether his playing style would translate to the NFL. Manziel never had ideal height or an elite arm, though his ability to extend plays often compensated for his weaknesses in college.

In Manziel's first stop in the NFL, his weaknesses outweighed his strengths. Now, he's fighting for another chance to prove those strengths can propel a successful career.
