Despite being one of the hottest names in sports right now, Johnny Manziel will skip all out on the Super Bowl activities and instead workout in San Diego. His agent says he turned down many lucrative deals:
I wondered if Johnny Football would make a #SB48 appearance, considering NYC and the vast media platform. Per agent @ErikBurkhardt, nope.

.@ErikBurkhardt said Manziel turned down “several lucrative marketing offers” to train in San Diego. “His focus remains 100% on football”

The picture above is actually from the Padres Twitter account. Manziel is making a smart decision here in my opinion. We know he is marketable already. NFL teams need to see if he is dedicated and can perform.
Well played.
Thanks for coming to Petco Park for your morning workout @Jmanziel2 & @WhitAthletix! #ItallhappensatPetco pic.twitter.com/cAvGaUf7kP
