The past couple of years has been a very rocky one for former Cleveland Browns starting quarterback Johnny Manziel. On and off the field issues have been hounding Johnny Manziel ever since his rookie year in the NFL back in 2014. But now things are starting to change. It looks like this might be the start of something new for Johnny Manziel. After being away from the NFL for almost a year, Johnny Manziel might be returning to the NFL sooner than most people expected.

News of Johnny Manziel preparing for a comeback in the NFL and re-hiring his former agent, Erick Burkhardt, has some NFL teams at the Combine interested in signing him up for next season, according to a report from the Bleacher Report. Johnny Manziel did not see action in the NFL last season after being released by the Cleveland Browns in March of last year.

Johnny Manziel, 24, was fired by Erick Burkhardt in February of last year after domestic violence allegations were filed against Johnny Manziel by his ex-girlfriend, Colleen Crowley, via a report from CBS Sports. Drew Rosenhaus was then hired by Johnny Manziel. But just after two months from being fired by Erick Burkhardt, Johnny Manziel was once again fired by Drew Rosenhaus.

Johnny Manziel coming back may draw some interests from some NFL teams, but they should be cautious as well before signing him up because of his checkered past. The talent is obviously there for Johnny Manziel, but along with the talent comes a lot of heavy baggage.

Ever since his rookie season in the NFL, Johnny Manziel has been hounded with a lot of legal issues and personal issues. Johnny Manziel's brief NFL career has been plagued by drug addictions, insubordinations to team rules and domestic violence allegations. NFL teams interested in Johnny Manziel would want to make sure first that he's clean and has gotten his life in order before signing him.
