WATCH: Johnny Manziel cheers alma mater at Texas A&M-Nebraska March Madness game in Memphis
Johnny Manziel is back in Memphis — only this time it's for March Madness.
The Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback showed up Friday in the front row at FedExForum for the first-round NCAA tournament game between Nebraska and Texas A&M, his alma mater.

It must have felt like a full-circle moment for "Johnny Football," who spent some time in Memphis in 2019 as a member of the Alliance of American Football's Memphis Express.
During Manziel's short stay in Memphis, he made several trips to FedExForum for Grizzlies games.
The 31-year-old won the Heisman Trophy in 2012. He was a member of the Cleveland Browns in 2014 and 2015. After that, though, Manziel bounced around, spending time in the Canadian Football League and the AAF. He last played for the FCF Zappers of the Fan Controlled Football League.
