Michael Sam sacks Johnny Manziel; does ‘money dance’ (GIF)
By Sam Richmond
It’s become commonplace for defenders to do Johnny Manziel’s ‘money’ celebration after making a play on the quarterback. Well, St.Louis Rams defensive end Michael Sam got in on the fun Saturday and pulled off the celebration following a sack of Manziel.
Watch the GIFs of the play and celebration below:
Manziel had done the celebration sign earlier in the game after he scored a seven-yard rushing touchdown.

This is pretty incredible for the simple fact that it involves two of the most well known players in the NFL today.
Sam gained notoriety after becoming the first openly gay NFL player in February after announcing it an interview with Sports Illustrated and Manziel is perhaps the most polarizing guy in sports today with his electrifying style and questionable antics.
This was Sam’s second sack of the preseason.
Despite Sam’s sack, Manziel is having a fairly successful night. He has the rushing touchdown and is 3-5 for 23 yards passing on the evening.
