Johnny Manziel is heavily affiliated with OVO thanks to his close relationship with Drake but he might be throwing up the Roc soon. The Texas A&M quarterback is of course expected to enter the NFL draft this year, after winning the Heisman last year and leading his team to a thrilling comeback win over Duke in the Chick Fil-A Bowl, he’s ready for the big leagues. Reports say a mega mogul is on his heels to represent him.

Speculation swelled that Manziel could be the next recruit for the rapper-turned-sports agent after the two partied at the same Miami club Thursday with a host of VIPs.
Jay Z performed at the BB&T Center in Florida, and, after a stop at Diddy’s Star Island mansion, arrived at nightclub Story in South Beach at 2 a.m. with a group including wife Beyoncé, Drake, Lil Wayne, Busta Rhymes, Kelly Rowland, Michelle Williams, Rick Ross, Pharrell Williams, Timbaland and DJ Khaled.
Manziel was later spotted hanging in the same VIP area where Jay and company occupied a table.
I’m hoping this supposed club interaction isn’t all they’re basing their reports on. Should Manziel choose to sign with Roc Nation Sports he’ll be joining Robinson Cano, Geno Smith, Victor Cruz, Kevin Durant and Skylar Diggins; pretty good roster for such a young company. There’s also speculation that Hov is trying to sign Louisville quarterback Teddy Bridgewater who is expected to be the No. 1 pick in the draft.
