The main goal of the XFL is to give players a second chance to fulfill their NFL dreams. The league will see the former NFL challengers attempt to return to the professional franchise this February. With that in mind, the Internet is trying to add former Kerrville High School quarterback Teevee to the San Antonio Brahmas roster.
Johnny Manzil, a former Texas A&M Heisman Trophy quarterback, was linked to the Brahmas in an XFL 3.0 Memes post that jokingly stated that Johnny Football was signing with San Antonio on Thursday, January 4.
MySA knows the social media post is from a satirical meme page, but that hasn’t stopped people in the comments from believing in the possibility of it coming true, even the social media account was surprised at how many people responded to the post. .
The Brahmas did not deny Manzil’s connection with the team, but clarified the situation with the roster. Director of Team Communications and Media Relations Kerwin Lonzo wrote in an email to MySA: “Our latest roster is online and I sent out our drafts and additional drafts on January 1st. This is the current lineup of our team. one more list update before camp starts next week.”
Brahma currently has four quarterbacks on the roster: Notre Dame’s Jack Coan, Prairie View A&M’s Javon Pass, Michigan State’s Anthony Russo and San Diego’s Reed Sinnett. Brahma training camp kicks off next week in Arlington.
Manzil was in Kerrville on September 9, 2022 when he was inducted into the Teawi Hall of Fame. In four years with the Horns, Manzil threw for 7,500 yards and 75 touchdowns and ran for over 4,000 yards and 78 touchdowns. He signed with Texas A&M and became the first rookie to win the Heisman Trophy in 2012. He was selected by the Cleveland Browns in the 2014 NFL Draft but only lasted two seasons.
