On Saturday, the Browns held a fan fest event at the Cleveland Convention Center. Later in the day, the team’s Pro Bowl cornerback Joe Haden hosted a charity softball game that included a home run derby, which was won by Johnny Manziel.

Many familiar names to NFL fans showed up like Richard Sherman, Kam Chancellor, Patrick Peterson, Colin Kaepernick, Torrey Smith, Larry Fitzgerald, A.J. Green, Randall Cobb, and, of course, Manziel.

The Browns quarterback reportedly hit one 360 t. during the contest and even had Hall of Famer Deion Sanders on his side. According to Cleveland.com, the Hall of Famer announced to the crowd Manziel was his pick to win, saying “Hey everybody, I want you to know my money’s on Johnny Manziel.”

Looks like Sanders knew what he was talking about.
