Johnny Manziel was relatively infamous on social media for most of his antics and escapades, though as he’s tried to get his life and career back in order, he’s remained silent on Instagram. But, he temporarily broke out of his Instagram hibernation to make fun of his old team, the Cleveland Browns, because who wouldn’t?
Here’s the first:

So Johnny Football isn’t the biggest fan of the organization that drafted him, eh? For someone who it would be in his best interest to lay low as he’s trying to get a CFL job, that’s one heck of a swing at the Browns. The picture remains up, but he since deleted the caption and comments, because even he knows now that publicly slagging the Browns, sorry as they are, is not in his best interests.

#ComebackSZN isn’t the world’s best hashtag, but it indeed works for him and his purposes. And based on this comment, and social media activity, it looks like the CFL is in his future.
It’s good to see Manziel get his life and career back in order, but there are still signs of the old Johnny Football hanging around because the internet doesn’t forget.
