Johnny Manziel Bio
Johnny Football’s journey from Heisman Trophy winner to Bob Does Sports and the 2026 Internet Invitational.
Who is Johnny Manziel?
Johnny Manziel, born Johnathan Paul Manziel on December 6, 1992, is a former American football quarterback best known for winning the 2012 Heisman Trophy at Texas A&M. Nicknamed “Johnny Football,” he became the first freshman to win the award and was selected 22nd overall by the Cleveland Browns in the 2014 NFL Draft.
From Johnny Football to creator golf
Manziel’s explosive 2012 college football season brought national attention to Texas A&M. His professional career with Cleveland did not match that college peak, but he remained a familiar sports personality. Golf offered another way to connect with audiences through casual competition and creator collaborations.
Manziel appeared in Johnny Manziel Joins Bob Does Sports! in May 2023 and returned for We Played Drunk Night Golf With Johnny Manziel! in January 2024. These appearances show him playing golf with established YouTube creators before the 2026 Internet Invitational.
What is Johnny Manziel’s golf handicap?
A 2026 event tracker estimated Manziel’s golf handicap at 1.7. That is a third-party estimate, not a verified current USGA handicap index, and should not be treated as an official measurement.
