Folds of Honor founder Dan Rooney and three-time National Champion head coach Urban Meyer join ‘Fox & Friends.’

Johnny Manziel put his toe in the water during a podcast when discussing impermissible benefits while he was a quarterback at Texas A&M.

The Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback discussed the topic on rapper Mike Stud’s YNK Podcast last week. The former Aggies star’s eligibility came into question when he was accused of signing autographs for money in 2013.

He was suspended for the first half of a game after he said he didn’t receive any compensation for the autographs.

Manziel talked about impermissible benefits during the podcast.

“Mike Evans [his former Texas A&M teammate] used to ask me if I could help him get his daughter diapers and things to go through … a $700 stipend check a month doesn’t cut it, bro. You take of the boys. It doesn’t even need to be said. That was the thing where I was like ‘Yo, I’m gonna go do what I need to do.’ It’ll get to a point where we will talk about it one day.
