Johnny Manziel will play his second game Saturday this season in the Fan Controlled Football League (FCF), a professional indoor league created in 2017, where all of the games are played at the Pullman Yards in Atlanta, Georgia.
In his third league since his last game with the NFL Cleveland Browns in 2015, the 2012 Heisman Trophy winner was thoroughly criticized for his brash on-the-field and off-the-field party antics.
Manziel recently stated to the AP, “I learned way more through the downfall than I ever did through the rise on the way up.”
“I look back and for a while looked at my life in a way that I reflected and kind of had regret on. I don’t feel that way anymore,” added Manziel. “I got an amazing opportunity to go to Texas A&M, to get drafted in the NFL. That career didn’t go the way exactly I wanted to, but I learned a lot about life through that journey up and through that journey down.”
