Get your popcorn ready!

You may think you know everything there is to know about former NFL Quarterback Johnny Manziel, but there’s a lot of info we don’t know about Johnny Manziel’s epic fall from grace. Untold is a documentary series on Netflix, they’ve been churning out some awesome Sports docs over the last year or so, the most recent being the Manti Teo and Tim Donaghy docs. Now we have confirmation there is a Johnny Manziel documentary coming to Netflix, with three episodes expected to be released sometime in the near future.

On Friday, the Twitter account released a short 10-second video of the former NFL quarterback sitting down and getting ready to reveal all.

Watch below:

Manziel’s best playing days were definitely in college when played for the Aggies.  The man known as Johnny Football threw for 7,820 passing yards, 2,169 rushing yards, and 93 touchdowns (63 passing, 30 rushing) in two seasons as Texas A&M’s quarterback. He won the 2012 Heisman Trophy and ended up finishing fifth overall in the 2013 voting.

Manziel ended up being drafted by the Browns, and it was pretty much a train wreck from the jump, one we couldn’t keep our eyes off of.  The Cleveland Browns waived Manziel after two controversial seasons both on and off the field.  Since his NFL stint, Manziel has  been banned by the CFL and played in the now-defunct AAF.

Manziel  joined the Fan Controlled League last year. This is going to be must watch TV.
