As funny as this might sound not everybody knows what Johnny Manziel looks like. Manziel reportedly tried to attend Nike’s The Opening football camp and promptly was turned away for this exact reason.
Per Wahoos247 Insider Jamie Oakes, Manziel was asked by security at The Opening to leave the area. While this might raise some eyebrows based on recent events, it turns out the staff security simply did not know who ‘Johnny Football’ was. …
Oakes reports: ‘To Manziel’s credit, he didn’t bat an eye and walked off as requested.’
Manziel was supposed to serve as one of the camp’s counselors, where high school recruits are invited to attend. Manziel did end up attending the camp as planned and everything went well. It’s just ironic to think that an athlete who’s constantly in the media wasn’t recognize at an event sponsored by Nike.
