Johnny Manziel of the Cleveland Browns is a lot of different things to different people. He's equal parts polarizing and captivating. To some, he's a ladykiller, but to Colleen Crowley he's a doting boyfriend. The one thing no one can deny him is his blistering talent -- and that Heisman.

When an athlete lives his entire life in the spotlight like Manziel has, it's easy to feel like there's nothing new to learn about him. Nevertheless, here are three things you may not know about Johnny Football:
1. He's Been Drafted For Two Other Sports Besides Football
Everyone knows that the Browns took Manziel with the 22nd pick of the 2014 NFL Draft, but he was also the 837th pick of the MLB draft, going to the San Diego Padres. Last year Manziel was also drafted by the Harlem Globetrotters. Granted, both these selections were done for solely for publicity's sake, but nevertheless, "Johnny Baseball" and "Johnny Basketball" definitely have a nice ring to them.
2."Johnny Football" Isn't Just His Nickname -- It's His Trademark
When life bestows upon you a nickname as fabulous as "Johnny Football," one has every right to take advantage of it. That's exactly what Manziel did in early 2013, setting up a corporation JMAN2 Enterprises, to ensure only he could profit from any exposure with regard to the "Johnny Football" phrase.
3. He's The First Freshman In College To Win The Heisman, Davey O'Brien Award, and Manning Award For The Same Season
Oh, right! And he's really good at football.
