Johnny Manziel was at center stage, but it was Brandon Silvers who played the role of hero.
CONNECTTWEETLINKEDINCOMMENTEMAILMOREThe Sunday night Johnny Manziel made his professional football debut in Memphis was so strangely compelling, in so many unpredictable ways, that perhaps it’s best to start at the end.
This pretty well summed up how oddly memorable the most exciting game in the brief history of the Memphis Express turned out to be. Those chants of “Joh-nny, Joh-nny, Joh-nny,” which picked up steam about eight minutes into the first quarter, eventually rang out from all over the stadium, even after Manziel took the field for the first time to a standing ovation with 7:12 remaining in the second quarter.
His first play was a 13-yard-run for a first down. His first pass was a 20-yard strike that should’ve been caught. His first completion was a 36-yard dart to Pig Howard.
