Johnny Manziel played his first game in over two years Saturday night, and he looked good while doing it.
The Texas A&M Heisman winner took the field in Texas for The Spring League, and he looked like he still has all the tools that made him a star.
Manziel had no problem slinging the ball in the windy conditions, showed his mobility and scored a touchdown.
Remember this guy?

Well, I think its safe to say weve come a very long way. Yes, there was some definite rust that Manziel needed to shake off. Thats to be expected after not hitting a field for more than two years.
Itd be more than fair to say many never expected him to touch the grass or turf of a football field again. Now, hes out there balling like its the old days. Theres still a very long road ahead, but I think itd be foolish to think hes not going to get an opportunity somewhere.
Theres just too much potential for a team to not take a shot.
