Johnny Manziel claims he made $33,000 for autographs at Texas A&M

Former Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel claimed on Thursday that he made about $33,000 selling autographs while at Texas A&M, what he described as making “somewhat of a decent living.”

Manziel, however, insisted that he didn’t take any money until after he won college football’s top award in 2012.

Manziel told Barstool Sports that one day he was approached by a man who offered him a chance to make $3,000 — which he jumped on.

“We're doing it all sneaky, we don't want to get caught, we're trying to learn from everybody else who's got caught," Manziel said.
