Johnny Manziel will be back on a football field this spring.
No, it won't be as a tryout player in any NFL camp, or as a member of the Hamiltion Ti-Cats, the CFL team that holds Manziel's rights. Instead, Manziel has signed on to play in the Spring League, a three-week scouting event in Austin, Texas, consisting of four teams that play two games each on the weekends of April 7 and April 14. The Spring League will be televised on the Turner Sports' streaming service.
In 2017, its first season, the Spring League included former NFL players, Kellen Winslow II, Ahmad Bradshaw, Fred Jackson and Ricky Stanzi.
