No, Johnny Manziel didn’t sign a football before he threw it for a TD, but what if he did? (GIF)

While Johnny Manziel certainly had some fun with the autograph controversy surrounding him when he took the field for the first time in the second half against Rice, he definitely didn't sign a football and throw it for a touchdown.

But this is what it would have looked like if he did.

Courtesy of the Tonight Show with Jay Leno, we certainly got a chuckle out of it. And it'd be great if Manziel took some inspiration from it against Sam Houston State on Saturday. How about a celebration with a fake autograph on the football after Manziel scores? He can just say he was inspired by Terrell Owens.
