Former Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel has agreed to resume his playing career in the startup football league "Fan Controlled Football," according to ESPN's Kevin Seifert.

Fan Controlled Football is slated to begin play in February. The 7-on-7 league will reportedly allow fans to set rosters and call plays, featuring teams owned by Richard Sherman, Mike Tyson and Marshawn Lynch among others.

"The more I heard about what this was going to be, the more I felt it was going to be something that was just very fun," Manziel told Seifert.
