BRISTOL, Conn. -- CFL commissioner Randy Ambrosie said Wednesday that he felt "good" about a conversation in September with quarterback Johnny Manziel but is awaiting the results of a multi-faceted expert analysis before deciding whether to approve him for play in the league.
Manziel's rights are held exclusively by the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. He triggered a process last summer that would require the Tiger-Cats to offer him a contract or relinquish is rights, but Ambrosie stepped in to ensure what he called a "thorough and thoughtful" decision was made about Manziel's eligibility to play in the CFL.
"He represented himself incredibly well [in the meeting]," Ambrosie said during a visit to ESPN headquarters.
