Johnny Manziel is in the middle of his NFL comeback. His comeback is receiving a ton of coverage from the media, including the NFL Network.
Manziel throwing in front of NFL scouts last week received a ton of coverage, while fellow free agent quarterback Colin Kaepernick’s throwing workout went largely unnoticed.
There have been comparisons made as to why neither of them is currently in the NFL. Manziel took to Twitter to let everyone know he isn’t a fan of comparisons and he showed his support for Kaepernick in the process.
Manziel knows he’s not currently in the NFL because of his own mistakes. He also knows that Kaepernick is being blackballed for his National Anthem protests and those two things are not comparable.
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…
