Johnny Manziel working out toward Fan Controlled Football debut

Johnny Manziel’s career has seen incredible success — in college — and failure — at many stops in the pros.

What seems to be the last chance at salvaging a once-promising football life is going to start on Feb. 13 when the 7-on-7 Fan Control Football League kicks off its inaugural season.

Video of Manziel prepping for the season popped on Wednesday. And he’s working out in Scottsdale, Az, under the watchful eye of league commissioner Ray Austin.

This has to be the ultimate reality check for Manziel, who played in front of thousands and thousands of fans during SEC games in college and his time with the Cleveland Browns.

The FCF draft takes place Feb. 10. There will be franchise players so expect Manziel to be one of those who sticks with the team that claims him.

This is the Alabama game the former Aggie star speaks of in the video.
