Johnny Manziel visits Nike campus
Johnny Football has a lot going on right now.
While he's preparing to get ready for the draft, he's also taking in some basketball and doing a little modeling. But maybe on of the most important things he's doing is deciding on an endorsement deal.
Ah, the young and soon-to-be-very-rich.
Back in January, speculation heated up that Manziel was planning on signing with Under Armour when the company's HQ in Baltimore displayed a welcome sign to the former Heisman winner.

But apparently, Johnny hasn't made his mind up yet. Wednesday, Manziel was in Portland to visit the Nike offices, Portland Business Journal's Matthew Kish reported.
A spokesperson for Nike confirmed that Manziel was indeed on the Nike campus but would not comment on the details of the visit.
Kish also reached out to Adidas (which also has company offices in Portland) to see if they had plans to meet with Manziel, but the company declined comment.

It may (or may not) be worth noting that LeBron James has an endorsement deal with Nike. Both Manziel and James have the same marking team, James' high-school friend Maverick Carter.
Rapper Drake also has an shoe deal with Jordan Brand, aka Nike. And we all know how much of a bromance those two have.
I guess well find out soon enough who Manziel picks. And learn how much heâs worth.
