On December 6, 1992, Jonathan Paul Manziel was born. His parents didn't know then what he would grow up to be - a doctor, a salesman, maybe a modern dance performer. Surely, their minds were full of possibility, and of hope.
And maybe they were prescient enough to think he'd become a football player. Unfortunately, today those dreams died:
Johnny Manziel measures just under 6 feet at the #NFLCombine at 5’11 and ¾ inches, 207 pounds.
