Johnny Football and Lifting for the Legs

Today is a big day for the Cleveland Browns and for Johnny "Johnny Football" Manziel. Johnny has made quite a name for himself in college football and certainly was deserving of winning the Heisman Trophy while at Texas A&M. But today he starts in the NFL for the first time and that is a big jump from playing in college. The question is whether Johnny or the Cincinnati defense he is playing against will be giving the "money" celebration at the end of the day?

Today's quote is from Johnny Manziel:

"For me, the NFL is the thing that's always been, kind of somewhat like the Heisman, it's been a dream as a kid to be able to have an opportunity to even be talked about being able to play in the NFL."
