Johnny Manziel training with quarterback guru for NFL comeback

The Johnny Manziel publicity tour is in full swing as he tries for an NFL comeback.

Just on Thursday there was a report that Manziel talked about an NFL return with New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton. A day later, ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler wrote about Manziel’s comeback, noting that the free agent quarterback is living in San Diego and working out with noted quarterbacks coach George Whitfield.

Both of these details are not new to those who have been following Manziel on social media. Most of his Snapchat and Instagram activity happens around the San Diego area, where Whitfield is based.

Learning to fall in love with the little things again. Toe down through the throw and using more of my base than all upper body. Stop "sweeping" across the ball and cutting the thing off at the top of the motion. Starting with a blank canvas all over again but DAMN ITS FUN TO BE BACK ON THE FIELD WHIT. Simplistic mindset, relentless consistency, and good people in my corner @georgewhitfieldjr @mjope @hankspeights @qbshooter @dakotap9 @t_pip2

In the past when he was a college quarterback, Manziel would often train with Whitfield in San Diego.

Whitfield has also trained notable names like Andrew Luck, Cam Newton and Ben Roethlisberger.

Though Manziel is working on an NFL comeback and has some help from a publicist who’s trying to convince everyone he’s serious this time, we remain skeptical. Let’s not forget that this is the same player who supposedly skipped his previous team’s final game of the season to go to Las Vegas, where he dressed up in a disguise.
