This week in San Diego hosted a unique event related to big-league football as Johnny Manziel was the choice for San Diego prospects to be the quarterback at Pro Day. Twelve NFL teams attended the event to check out the new Johnny Football and it appears John Elway is at least somewhat intrigued.

According to Mike Klis of KUSA, the Denver Broncos sent a scout to check out Manziel's big day.

We all know who Johnny Manziel is—the bad boy quarterback of his generation who spoiled a dream come true many aspiring athletes hold near and dear to hearts everywhere across the nation.

Manziel, 25, was selected 22nd overall by the Cleveland Browns back in 2014. In 15 total appearances, eight games started, he threw for 1,675 yards, seven touchdowns and seven interceptions to a completion percentage of just 57.

It took just two seasons for the kid to flunk out of the league.

Over the last two seasons, the only Manziel news to hit print and our computer screens has come via the off-field variety. Partying, girls, trouble—it's been a healthy part of the Manziel diet. As of late, however, he's been assertive in his attitude pertaining to a comeback. He claims he's healthy and on the way back, leading to 12 teams checking out the Pro Day event in San Diego.

Stay tuned. Johnny Football back in the NFL could be a reality by training camp.
