Johnny Manziel Makes Canadian Football League Preseason Debut

Johnny Manziel made his Canadian Football League preseason debut with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats on Friday night.

Manziel entered the preseason game against the Toronto Argonauts with 3:38 remaining in the second quarter. He played as backup quarterback behind starter Jeremiah Masoli. Manziel completed 9-of-12 passes for 80 yards in five possessions.

The former Heisman Trophy winner put together an impressive 12-play, 62-yard drive during his final possession but was flagged for intentional grounding as he threw away the first-down pass out of bounds.

Despite the excitement surrounding Manziel's preseason debut, the Argonauts beat the Tiger-Cats 36-18.
