Manziel left A&M for the NFL after his redshirt sophomore season before he was able to finish his degree. He flamed out after two seasons with the Cleveland Browns, who selected him the first round of the 2014 draft, and is apparently looking to graduate.

Manziel appeared in 14 games for the Browns, including eight starts. Overall, he threw for 1,675 yards, seven touchdowns and seven interceptions while completing 57 percent of his passes.
