(Montreal) - Tonight could be a big first step for former Cleveland Browns First Round draft choice Johnny Manziel.
The former Heisman Trophy winner is looking to revive his professional career in the Canadian Football League and will get his first start in professional football in three years when his Montreal Alouettes take on the Hamilton Tiger-Cats this evening in Montreal.
Manziel, ironically, signed a two-year deal with Hamilton this summer but was traded to Montreal last month when he couldn't win the Tiger-Cats starting quarterback job.
Manziel was released by Cleveland after several off-the-field incidents before ultimately finding his way into the CFL.
