Manziel's nightmare debut continues as he throws his third pick of the half



The first half of Johnny Manziel’s first career CFL regular season start was a rough one as he was picked off three times by his former team. While a lot of people tuning into the game watched in disbelief as they expected Manziel to marvel right out of the gate, a former CFL player chimed in on the entire situation and backed Manziel despite his early struggles.



While a lot of people were quick to take shots at Manziel for the poor start to his CFL career, the CFL’s all-time pass receptions leader Nik Lewis stepped in on Twitter and backed the rookie while taking a shot at the Alouettes.

A fan responded to Lewis’ tweet wondering if Terrell Owens could help the situation in Montreal and he didn’t back down from taking another jab at the organization.

It wasn’t the start Manziel was hoping for, but he can only go up from here.
