A Car Accident and Its Impact on Johnny Manziel and Mike Evans' College Careers
Mike Evans reminisces about Johnny Manziel's miraculous survival from a fatal car crash that occurred at Texas A&M.
Johnny Manziel, known as "Johnny Football," and Mike Evans, a standout wide receiver, shared a significant chapter of their careers at Texas A&M University. Their time together at the Aggies football team played a pivotal role in reviving the program and setting the stage for their professional careers. However, one incident, a car accident, left a lasting impression on their college days.
During his college career, Johnny Manziel was involved in a car crash. The details of the accident are not extensively documented, but Manziel himself referred to it as a "God moment." Mike Evans, Manziel's top receiver at the time, was also involved in the same accident. The car in which they were travelling flipped over, ejecting Evans from the Jeep. Despite the accident, Evans managed to move after the incident, albeit with injuries that included a sliced ear and stitches above his right eyebrow.
The aftermath of the accident was a topic of discussion on the television show Glory Daze, where both Manziel and Evans shared their experiences. Houston rap music was still playing in the car after the accident, adding a surreal element to the event.
The car crash did not deter Evans from continuing his successful college career. He went on to earn All-American honours and was later drafted by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the first round of the 2014 NFL Draft. Evans has since become one of the top receivers in the NFL.
Manziel, on the other hand, faced more challenges post-college. His NFL career with the Cleveland Browns saw a quick decline, marred by inconsistency and personal issues. His departure from the NFL was followed by stints in other leagues, but his career has yet to regain the momentum it had during his time at Texas A&M.
The car accident may not have been the defining moment in their careers, but it served as a reminder of the risks and challenges that come with fame and success. For Evans and Manziel, it was a testament to their resilience and determination, qualities that have shaped their journeys in the world of professional sports.
