Johnny Manziel appeared on "FOS Today" and was asked about the reported NIL offers for Manning that could reach between $8 million to $10 million. The former Texas A&M QB was also asked how much he could've made if NIL money was around during his time.

"Yeah, I'm still sitting here, one of these days, I think A&M will slide me a check under the table or something and all will be right," Manziel said on Monday.

Manziel committed to Texas A&M in 2011; however, he redhsirted his first year with the program.

He won the Heisman Trophy in 2012, and was later inducted into the Texas A&M Athletics Hall of Fame. However, NIL money was not part of college athletics when Manziel was with the Aggies.

He played two years in the NFL with the Cleveland Browns. Manziel also had stints with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats and Montreal Alouettes of the CFL in 2018. He played for Memphis Express of the Alliance of American Football in 2019, and in the Fan Controlled Football from 2021 to 2022.
