Tony Buzbee, owner of The Buzbee Law Firm in Houston, has never met Johnny Manziel, aka Johnny Football, the Heisman-winning former quarterback for Texas A&M University. But Buzbee, a proud Aggie, has plastered 12 of his Houston-area billboards with pleas for his fellow Houstonians to “Keep Johnny Football in Texas.” Manziel announced earlier he would go pro.

Buzbee, whom the governor appointed in 2013 to the Texas A&M board of regents, said he hopes Houston Texans owner Bob McNair will hear Buzbee’s request and that of other Houstonians who signed a petition on a website he has established for that purpose www.draftjohnnymanziel.com.
