When did Johnny Manziel last play in the NFL?

Quarterback Johnny Manziel was one of the most talked about quarterbacks in college football. "Johnny Football," as he was nicknamed, impressed many with his ability to get the ball down the field with his arm as well as make plays happen with his legs.

While his play on the field stood out, it was his behavior off the field that NFL scouts were skeptical about. The quarterback fell to the Cleveland Browns with the 22nd pick in the 2014 NFL draft.

He started just two games in his rookie season, playing in a total of five. He was 18-for-35 for 175 yards and no touchdowns. In his second season, he started six games with a 2-4 record. He threw for 1,5000 yards, seven touchdowns and five interceptions that season.

The Browns released him in 2016 after domestic abuse accusations against him were reported. No other NFL team signed the quarterback, and in 2017 he joined the Canadian Football League. He played two seasons in the CFL and was then released because he missed team meetings.

Although rumors circulated over the years that he would make a return to the NFL, that never came to fruition.
