Johnny Football Wants to Become Johnny Golf

The former Heisman winner had a brief stint in the NFL, where he completely crashed and burned. Since that time, he’s been trying to make a comeback in some capacity. He played in the CFL for a brief moment, and his most recent stint has seen Johnny running the show in the Fan Controlled Football League. One would think he still wants a career in football. Nope, not the case.

According to Johnny Football, he wants play golf professionally.

“I’m giving myself 12 years to try to play professional golf,” Manziel told podcaster Chris Long on the Green Light podcast. “I’m gonna grind this out and see how good I can get and see if I can’t enter some tournaments and see if I can’t go play professional golf eventually. I think it is a very uphill battle, but that’s what I’m setting for my goals. I have 12 years to try and make a PGA Tour event.”

If playing professional golf makes Johnny happy, best of luck.

Although the nickname Johnny Golf is horrific.
