Johnny Manziel likely to start for Montreal Alouettes this week

According to montrealgazette.com, Johnny Manziel is expected to make his first start, and take his first snaps as a Canadian Football League player this week.

The former Heisman Trophy winner and Texas A&M legend was traded to the Montreal Alouettes from the Hamilton Tiger-Cats on July 22. Now he plays for his former head coach and the man who brought him to Aggieland, Mike Sherman. Coach Sherman made the comment that he, “didn’t bring (Manziel to Montreal) to sit on the bench.”

While nobody is surprised to hear this news, it is still certainly exciting.
