On the night Johnny Manziel was drafted by the Browns, he sent former Cleveland quarterback coach Dowell Loggains a message, vowing to \u201cwreck this league.\u201d<\/p>\n
That never happened after the Browns pulled the trigger and selected the Heisman Trophy winner from Texas A&M at No. 22 overall in the 2014 NFL Draft.<\/p>\n
Manziel was a tremendous flop, as he lasted just two seasons. He\u2019s been in and out of the limelight since.<\/p>\n
On May 23, after more than a decade since his time as a Browns QB, Manziel finally \u201cwrecked\u201d someone \u2014 on the mixed martial arts platform, of all places.<\/p>\n
Manziel was the main event on a card promoted by Adin Ross\u2019 Brand Risk Promotions that featured boxing and MMA bouts. Manziel, now 33, fought 38-year-old social media influencer Bob Menery in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n
The fight lasted a little more than two minutes, and it was all Manziel.<\/p>\n
Manziel used his height and weight advantage to dispose of Menery in a hurry. He landed several kicks, then got a takedown of Menery before Manziel finished off his opponent from a full mount, and the fight was stopped.<\/p>\n
Afterward, Manziel said his venture into the MMA world was a one-off.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis was good enough for one time,\u201d he said on the YouTube.com broadcast.<\/p>\n
In two seasons with the Browns in 2014 and 2015, Manziel threw for 1,675 yards and seven touchdowns before he was cut by the team in the 2016 offseason.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"On the night Johnny Manziel was drafted by the Browns, he sent former Cleveland quarterback coach Dowell Loggains…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":692176,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[570],"tags":[64,63,1238,786,3914,785,593,85],"class_list":["post-692175","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mma","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-cleveland-browns","tag-fighting","tag-latest-headlines","tag-mma","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/692175","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=692175"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/692175\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/692176"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=692175"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=692175"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=692175"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
