The sports world was glued to Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel’s pro day. Whether it was his selection of music, decision to wear a helmet and pads, or Lana Berry making faces behind Manziel, every detail was scrutinized.

It even drew some rather notable attendees, including former president George H.W. Bush, his wife Barbara and their dog.

Bush spent a little time with Manziel before his pro day, and even tweeted about it including a picture of him trying to try on Manziel’s helmet. It was an A&M Helmet and not the black one Nike is already trying to sell.
