Johnny Manziel: Spring League Debut Disappointing but a 'Huge Step'

Johnny Manziel featured in the Spring League game for two quarters, finishing 9-of-15 for 82 yards with a touchdown and three sacks. After the contest, Manziel gave himself a mixed review.

"It's disappointing, some of the things that happened, but nevertheless, it's a huge step for me," he said, per Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com. "I put pads back on. A lot of people wrote me off just to even get to this point. I'm definitely emotional about it. I'm definitely happy about it. This isn't the end goal for me, but I'm having fun again. I have a smile on my face.
