Johnny Manziel gets a job for night of NFL Draft
Johnny Manziel’s comeback tour continues.
The former Browns quarterback will host a one-time podcast for Barstool Sports ahead of Thursday’s draft, The Post has learned.
“Comeback SZN,” coined from Manziel’s beloved hashtag, will feature draft commentary from the 25-year-old quarterback, along with manager Erik Burkhardt and Barstool’s Kayce Smith. The podcast will be available on BarstoolSports.com.
Manziel was selected 22nd overall by Cleveland in the first round of the 2014 draft. Following a number of well-documented, off-field transgressions, he was cut from the club in March 2016, later photographed on that year’s draft night from a bar. Two years later, the 2012 Heisman Trophy winner has made it his mission to turn his life around.
“I am coming back from a huge downfall,” Manziel said in a January interview with “Good Morning America.” “I don’t know what kind of comeback it will be, but I know I want to get back on a football field, to what brought me so much joy in my life.”
After completing his second game in this month’s developmental Spring League, Manziel can decide if he wants to wait out potential calls from NFL teams or agree to a two-year commitment with the CFL’s Hamilton Tiger-Cats.
