CFL Training Camps start with a bang!
If CFL teams were looking to spark interest in the 2018 season, they certainly went about it the right way as training camps opened this past weekend.
The big ticket item, so to speak, was the signing of Johnny Manziel by the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.
Manziel has pretty well run out of options in trying to continue his football career and get redemption back in the NFL. While Manziel did the “I’m Sorry” tour and admitted his mistakes, NFL teams were reluctant to give him a shot without a concrete display of how he changed since he washed out with Cleveland.
Manziel could be a classic textbook case of a guy who likes to improvise and didn’t think he needed to put in the work that say, a Peyton Manning or Tom Brady or Ricky Ray does. What Manziel hopefully found is that an ability to improvise can only take you so far.
