Its been a long time coming for Manziel to get back into professional football, and this is a great step in the right direction for him to get back to the NFL. Two great years in the CFL could pay huge dividends down the road.
Most of all, Im just happy to see Manziel finally bounce back after the tough time he had upon getting to the NFL. Its #ComebackSZN, and Im here for all of it.
