10. NFL teams showing interest in Johnny Manziel at Combine
For once in quite some time, Johnny Football is in news headlines for a good reason.
Johnny Manziel, serious enough to get Burkhardt to take him back, is drawing real interest from teams at the Combine, per @MikeGarafolo & me

Manziel recently achieved sobriety on his own. That’s a huge accomplishment. It’s also an accomplishment that if it sticks, could get him back onto the football field. The young quarterback also appears to be working out and hitting up the practice field.
Manziel had a recent check in with the court in connection with his 2016 domestic violence case involving his ex-girlfriend. The judge was impressed and Manziel had this to report.
“Everything has been going extremely smoothly and my life is trending upwards, so I don’t even want to let this get anywhere near the rabbit hole that you were describing. … I’m taking this responsibility — I need to get my life in order. These are the things I need to do.”
If the young quarterback keeps all of his business in order this offseason, he may just wind up with an NFL team to call home in September. Should this happen, keep in mind Manziel would still have to serve a four-game suspension in relation to his past substance abuse issues.
