Quarterback Johnny Manziel take his first team reps at Ticats training camp
HAMILTON — A small step forward for Johnny Football.
Johnny Manziel took his first team reps at the Hamilton Tiger-Cats’ training camp Tuesday. The former Heisman Trophy winner spent much of the first two days of workouts watching incumbent Jeremiah Masoli and the other quarterbacks call and execute plays.
Once again, Manziel, 25, threw to receivers prior to position drills. But this time, he took snaps against a full defence as well as during the seven-on-seven session at Ron Joyce Stadium.
“The first day I came out and was just looking over everything, learning from the guys, just kind of watching to see how they progress through things,” Manziel said. “Now we’re just kind of piecing it together, a couple of team reps here, more seven-on-seven reps so you see it without the pass rush and the whole thing coming together.
