Johnny Manziel’s has opened up about his feelings after being compared to Colin Kaepernick over his mission to return to the NFL.
Last week Manziel worked out in front of 13 NFL teams, and media critics openly questioned why Kaepernick hasn’t been granted the same treatment.
Manziel took to Twitter to tell the world how he feels, and made sure he praised Kapernick while doing so…take a look at the Tweets below:
This will probably cause an uproar, but I’m tired of the @Kaepernick7 vs myself comparisons and anger. Kap is doing amazing things right now changing lives and donating millions of dollars. His impact off the field from a societal standpoint is legendary and straight admirable.

Standing up for people who often don’t get heard and for a race that continually deals with problem after problem in this country for CENTURIES. This world we live in is absolutely crazy and I believe what he’s doing has an amazing impact.

The facts of the matter are the reason he’s not being signed are non football based. The guy took a team to the Super Bowl and continuously wreaked havoc on the NFC West and the league. Maybe he had a bad year two years ago but he’s not a bad player and that’s a fact..

In my opinion the guy still has a lot in the tank but it’s not my place to say what he wants to do with his career. All I can speak for is myself and trying to turn my life around from the depths it was in. God bless and have a great Saturday…
