Johnny Manziel is leaving the Texas A&M Aggies and will head to the NFL Draft. According to ESPN’s Darren Rovell, has signed with Select Sports Group and Maverick Carter, the business partner of LeBron James:
BREAKING: Johnny Manziel has chosen @SSGFootball & @mavcarter, LeBron's business partner, to rep him for contract & marketing.

Because he’s reportedly signed with an agent, he forfeits any remaining college football eligibility he had remaining, meaning that why he hasn’t publicly announced he’s entering the 2014 NFL Draft, he’ll be doing so soon enough.
