Former Texas A&M QB Johnny Manziel to have role for Saturday's big game against Notre Dame

Texas A&M was the place to be every Saturday in the fall, and Manziel went on to win the Heisman Trophy in 2012. In 2014, he was drafted in the first round of the NFL Draft by the Cleveland Browns.

Manziel’s NFL career lasted only two years, and after the Browns released him in March 2016, no other team sought to sign him.

Now, Manziel is enjoying his time playing golf, but this weekend, He will have to step away from the course because he will be involved in the first Texas A&M game of the season.
