Manziel is (mostly) done with football

ATLANTA — No more football for Johnny Football unless it’s just for kicks.

After a self-destructing pro career that never came close to fulfilling his enormous potential, Johnny Manziel says he’s done with the game that gave him his catchy moniker — even as he’s dabbling in a fledgling, fan-controlled arena league that was set to begin play Saturday night in suburban Atlanta.

This is simply a fun little sidelight, Manziel insisted, giving him a chance to take a few snaps in an intriguing new venture and perhaps help some up-andcomers get a look from the NFL.

“This is not my redemption tour,” Manziel said.

These days, he’s more interested in working on his golf game than prepping for another football comeback.
