#ComebackSZN continued on Tuesday as Johnny Manziel was at Texas A&M's pro day to show off his skills in front of NFL and CFL personnel in attendance.

Manziel hasn't signed anywhere yet, but these workouts are important for him to say the least and when he spoke to the media, he confirmed that if no NFL opportunities pop up, he's going to play in the CFL.

Here is full quote from @JManziel2 at Texas A&M pro day on his football future and CFL: “If something (NFL) pops up, it pops up. And if if not, and I don’t the opportunity to go back, I’m going to play in the CFL.” # CFL

I think @JManziel2 would benefit from being coached in CFL by June Jones, former NFL QB and HC. https://t.co/jiBhkaNV7X

Pro days are more for draft hopefuls to show off their skills one last time in a more comfortable environment ahead of the draft, but because wideout

Christian Kirk chose Manziel to be the one to throw to him during his workout, he had the chance to show off and hopefully catch the eye of a team.

Clearly, though, Manziel is content with coming to Canada to play football if he doesn't get an opportunity from an NFL team.

That said, Manziel has another opportunity to showcase his ability coming up as he'll play in The Spring League, which runs from March 28th to April 13th. Plus, this wasn't the first pro day he's thrown at either.

Kind of a cool thing that Johnny Manziel agreed to throw at San Diego Pro Day. He’d been training with 2 of their late-round prospects and they asked him to be QB for their workouts for scouts. Manziel agreed yesterday to do them a favor. Benefitted all sides, as he looked sharp.
