There was a time when Johnny Manziel would regularly trend on social media, particularly every Saturday. That was back during his days with the Texas A&M Aggies. These days, Manziel still finds himself becoming a topic, though, for some random reasons. Take for example when ESPN college analyst Paul Finebaum described Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield as a “poor man's Johnny Manziel.”
“I got into it with him in college,” Finebaum said. “He came after me on Twitter. And I thought he was a punk then and nothing has changed. He is a poor man’s Johnny Manziel. I think Cleveland ought to get rid of him. I don’t know if it’s possible, but I think the Browns are wasting their time with this guy.”
Perhaps seeing his Twitter mentions blow up, Manziel posted a one-word reaction along with a Homer Simpson disappearing in the bushes meme:

Selected in the first round of the 2014 NFL Draft by the Browns, Manziel would be out of the league just after two seasons in the league, mainly because of disciplinary issues. The Heisman Trophy winner would see action in the CFL and in the Fan Controlled Football League, but any hope of seeing him back in the NFL is highly unlikely, to say the least.
