REPORT: Johnny Manziel Is The No. 1 Target For The New XFL

Nobody can create better story lines than WWE.

On Thursday, it was reported that Vince McMahon will announce a relaunch of the XFL that will set to kickoff in 2020 and considering his background in entertainment, McMahon is looking to add some big names to his league.

The chairman of WWE wants ‘Johnny Football’ to be the face of his new league.

Vince McMahon is going to announce new football league, which will start in 2020. I was told Johnny Manziel will be a No. 1 target for new league.

This is a very smart move by Vince. If he wants the XFL to gain popularity, what better way to do it than to add big name household names that didn’t make it in the NFL?

And they shouldn’t stop at just Johnny Manziel:

Listen.. if the XFL was smart, the first thing they have to do is bring in some quality, big-name QBs.

Bring in Colin Kaepernick, Robert Griffin III, Johnny Manziel, etc.

McMahon knows how to stir controversy and create headlines and he should do the same in the XFL.
