Johnny Manziel back flips into pool in terrifying stunt
The former first-round pick appeared unscathed after the stunt
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Johnny Manziel was known as Johnny Football and Johnny Heisman during his college football career but his latest video may have some considering him to be Johnny Daredevil.
The 27-year-old posted a video on his Instagram on Monday showing him doing something kids should definitely not try out at their own home. The former Cleveland Browns quarterback performed a front flip off the roof of a house into a pool below.

He appeared to be unscathed after splashing into the pool.
The former first-round pick has been out of football for more than a year after the Alliance of American Football folded midway through its inaugural season. He told the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal in June that his new goal is to be happy in life, not on the football field.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}“I’ve finally got to a point where I’m trying to achieve happiness in life, not happiness on the football field,” he said. “I know a lot of people probably want me to come back and play and give it another chance, but I don’t know, as far as being a person and figuring out life as a young adult — trying to make it and figure it out — if I’ve ever been in a better place than I’m in right now.

“I can honestly say I’m happy and I’m doing the right things to try and put a smile on my face every day, and that means more to me than going out and grinding on a football field.”
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Manziel said his “heart” wasn’t in playing in the NFL, and he gave everything he had while playing at Texas A&M, where he won the Heisman Trophy.
As for the critics, Manziel said he was “proud” of what he accomplished in his short-lived pro career.
