Johnny Football Sent to Youth League in Cleveland

Houston Texans Chose Jadeveon Clowney
Over Johnny Football
The Houston Texans, likely the second favorite NFL team for residents of Brownsville, toyed with the idea of drafting Johnny Manziel, AKA Johnny Football, as the number one pick in the NFL draft last spring.  Instead, they picked defensive player Jadevon Clowney, twice as large and with considerably more NFL athleticism.

Clowney got hurt in a game September 7, underwent arthroscopic knee surgery and will be out of action 4-6 weeks.

Manziel wasn't able to beat out journeyman, but lackluster quarterback, Brian Hoyer, and started regular season on the bench.  Johnny did actually get into a game September 14, handing off twice for 0 yards and throwing an incomplete pass.

Tuesday after the game Johnny earned his money by visiting a youth football league at Humphrey Park in Cleveland.  Johnny joined 150 kids in football drills, helping out the coaches in working with the players.  

Johnny's visit to the youth league was part of the Cleveland Browns First and Ten community outreach program.
Despite hardly playing, sales of Johnny Manziel jerseys are #1 among NFL players, actually more than quarterbacks Peyton Manning, Archie Griffin III and Andrew Luck combined.

  1. Jim, is this article an indication that you are now going to blog about entertainment events that have no impact on Brownsville??? This is dead space and meanlngless dribble. These guys are entertainers and most of what they do is managed and produced to keep their names alive and sell jerseys.

  2. I really believe the Houston Texans whom I support all the way...J.J. WATT baby, made a mistake in selecting Clowney as it seems they are going down the same path with this player as too when they seleceted Mario Williams. A massive athelete, but damages very easily. That's alright the TEXANS have enough depth on their defense not to miss Jade.
