Memphis Express To Start 3rd-String QB Despite Declaring Johnny Manziel ‘Ready’ To Play

The Memphis Express recently acquired former NFL first-round quarterback Johnny Manziel during the week to add to their roster. The Express, heading into tomorrow’s game against the Birmingham Iron with a 1-5 record on the season, will be starting its third different quarterback of the season during the game.

But it will not be Manziel.

Granted, it’s not exactly a shock that a quarterback acquired literally less than a week ago would not be prepared to start a game, even in a lower level league like the Alliance of American Football.
