Former NFL wide receiver Josh Gordon has joined the Fan Controlled Football league's Zappers, and he'll have a familiar face throwing him the ball in the coming weeks.
Gordon will be joined by former Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel upon signing with the Zappers. Manziel joined the new startup league in December after stints in the Alliance of American Football as well as the Canadian Football League.
Gordon last played in the NFL in 2019. He was conditionally reinstated by the NFL in December 2020 after a year-long suspension for violating its substance abuse policy, but he was placed on the commissioner's exempt list shortly thereafter.
