Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel decided to wear a helmet and pads at his Pro Day.
Put on the pads. Then put on a show. @JManziel2 approaches pro day just like game day. pic.twitter.com/h5scNg6THG

That shocked a lot of people, but Manziel had a simple explanation.
Never seen QB throw in pads, helmet at pro day. Norv Turner said they should add a couple of defenders and let em chase him around.

Just asked Manziel why the pads and helmet at pro day: "Isn't the game played with them on?"

Well there might have been another motive, to launch and sell his Pro Day Collection. Good news, if you want to buy the full Johnny Manziel Pro Day collection, it is already available.
The future starts today. Don't get left behind. The @JManziel2 Pro Day Collection http://t.co/B6TDicu0db pic.twitter.com/GFp2raByoV
