Johnny Manziel, an American football quarterback currently has a net worth of an estimated $6 million with a salary of $2 million. He made a large part of his wealth from his NFL career where he played for Cleveland Browns, Hamilton Tiger-Cats, Montreal Alouettes, Memphis Express and now plays under Fan Controlled Football (FCF).
Since 2014 that Manziel began his NFL career after being drafted in the first round as the 22nd overall pick, the quarterback has not only attracted wealth but also fame, honours and accomplishments that include making the Cleveland Browns Franchise record for most rushing yards by a quarterback in a single game (108) and becoming the 2012 SEC Offensive Player of the Year while in college among other honours.
The Life of Johny Manziel Before He Made His Net Worth
He was born Johnathan Paul Manziel on December 6, 1992, in Tyler, Texas. The 32 years old is of American-Lebanese-Italian descent.
At a young age, the American football player became exposed to different sporting activities and would spear no time sampling basketball, football, golf and baseball.
However, while he was attending the Tivy High School, Texas, he paid attention to baseball and football and the latter remain his major strength.
How Johnny Manziel Acquired His $6 Million Net Worth
He Allegedly Made Money Earning From College Signing
Although his income while playing football in college cannot be compared to that which he made from NFL, it cannot also be totally ignored that the football player may have had his fair share of earnings.
Before 2012 when he was awarded the Heisman Trophy, the footballer recounted how he did not take any money. But he also recounted how he was met by someone to sign about 10,000 pieces of memorabilia while for $3,000. He was offered $30,000 for a different signing session.
His Major Net Worth Contributor is NFL
In 2014, Manziel had his NFL draft in round 1 as a 22 overall pick in Cleveland Browns. This came right after he became one of the most polarizing athletes in pre-draft history.
Manziel spent 2 seasons in Cleveland Browns where his performance was accompanied by criticism, especially his first season with the team.
He left football for about 2 years after the 2015 season only to return in 2018 to join the Hamilton Tiger-Cats of the Canadian Football League and was subsequently moved to Alouettes.
In 2019, Johnny Manziel signed to join the Alliance of American Football and ended up being assigned to the Memphis Express team that would later file for bankruptcy.
Although he announced his retirement in September of 2020, he signed a contract with Fan Controlled Football which is an Indoor American football league and has been assigned to Zappers.
