Appearing on The Club Shay Shay podcast, Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel told Shannon Sharpe that his father approached Texas A&M head coach Kevin Sumlin with an under-the-table proposal before the Heisman Trophy winner declared for the 2014 NFL Draft."

My dad went and had a meeting with Kevin Sumlin," Manziel said (h/t On3). "And pretty much went to him man to man and was like, 'We'll take $3 million, and we'll stay for the next two years.' And my dad says this is as true today as he did when he told me. [Sumlin] laughed."
"My dad did this without me knowing, and I ain't mad at him about it for nothing. It's the way the business worked back then," Manziel said. "There was a bag man. There was a bag man at LSU. There was a bag man at 'Bama. There was a bag man at every school around the country if you were competing for a national title. It is what it was, and it was always that way until we're into the NIL portion of everything now, the way it should be."
