John Football? Manziel not Johnny anymore

Johnny Manziel is making his life more simple, at least when it comes to his name, announcing that he is going by John now.

Appearing on "The Dan Patrick Show" Monday, the former Cleveland Browns quarterback said: "I have a little update for you. I actually go by John these days. So, I'm kind of just turning over the page and moving forward a little bit."

He was asked if this means he's growing up.

"Getting there I guess," Manziel said.

The 26-year-old signed with the Memphis Express of the AAF in March, but his stint was a short one because the league folded before completing a season.
