JOHNNY MANZIEL IS so good at heaving pigskin that supporters of his Texas A&M Aggies team have coined him ‘Johnny Football’.
The 21-year-old quarterback is destined for great deeds in the NFL, sooner rather than later, but he served up a treat in a college football bowl last night. Manziel threw for 382 yards, including four touchdowns as the Aggies beat Duke 52-48 in a humdinging Chick-fil-A-BOWL* classic.
Unintentional highlight of the night, however, was this keystone cops effort below:

Manziel, channelling his inner-Tim Tebow, hurdled a pile-up of linesmen and bounced off his own teammate, 23-stone Jarvis Harrison.
He quickly recovered his wits to fling a touchdown pass to Travis Labhart to put his team 38-24 up. That, we suppose, is why they call him Johnny football.
*Chick-fil-A Bowl was formerly known as the Peach Bowl before a change in 1998.
