Johnny Manziel says he is now focusing on becoming a professional golfer

While Johnny Manziel made a brief return to the football field (sort of) in the Fan Controlled Football League, a career in professional football is a thing of Manziel’s past.

But he hasn’t given up on a career in pro sports.

Manziel, who last played in the NFL in 2015, is moving on from football to pursue a career in professional golf. Manziel has spent much of his time playing golf in Arizona over the past two years. And in a podcast appearance with former NFL player Chris Long, Manziel said that he hopes to break into pro golf by the time he turns 40.

... but always keep what a cruel slap in the face reality is.

40 and breaking in on the tour, eh? Who does he think he is? Chevy Chase in Caddieshack?

or at least young teens. Golf is hard to get good at. Thinking he'll break into pro golf by the age of 40 is...well, shows he has no clue.

if he had played golf instead of basketball. Once his basketball career is over, he might try one of the satellite tours in hopes on maybe getting to the main tour. But that'll be in his mid to late 30s, but who knows.

Manziel, I don't think so.
