Hundreds Line Up in Texas for Johnny Manziel’s Autograph Event

Despite his behavior issues off the field, Johnny Manziel can still draw a huge crowd.

The Eagle reported that roughly 350 fans were willing to pay $125 each in order to meet Manziel, the Cleveland Browns' back up quarterback, at Aggieland Outfitters in College Station where he used to play for Texas A&M. The fans waited for about three hours ever though the temperatures reached 100 degrees Fahrenheit at certain times. The 2012 Heisman Trophy winner was hosting an autograph session.

"It was a pleasure to meet him and he'll always be my favorite player," 10-year-old Mason Okruhlik said.

"The biggest thing is seeing the kids excited," Aggieland Outfitters spokesperson Dallas Shipp said. "It's all smiles all day."

Representatives from Panini Authentic, which is Manziel's licensing agent, oversaw the event, which charged fans $125 to $155 per ticket depending on the size of the item that they wanted to get signed. The event reportedly sold out in under 24 hours.

For more than two hours, Manziel sat in the center of the store and shook hands with all his fans. He signed several different kinds of sports paraphernalia, which included jerseys, footballs and helmets.

Manziel did not take any interviews from the media.

While at Texas A&M, Manziel threw for 7,820 yards and 63 touchdowns. He did get into trouble for allegedly signing autographs for memorabilia brokers. For that offense, he was suspended for the first half of the 2013 opener against Rice University.

With the Browns, however, Manziel has been very underwhelming. The quarterback threw for 175 yards with zero touchdowns and two interceptions.
