Johnny Manziel is back!
Tonight Manziel made his AAF debut as the backup QB for the Memphis Express and was able to start off strong with a solid scramble on his first play in the game.

Manziel didn’t see much playing time in the second half but he did get into it with trash talking opponents.

Unfortunately for Manziel the team’s starting QB Brandon Silvers led the Express to a big comeback in the fourth quarter.

Manziel seemed genuinely happy for his new teammate despite being forced to watch the team comeback while on the sideline.
