There's a connection between Hogan and Manziel already. Back on Aug. 20, Hogan called out Manziel for the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. He opened up by challenging Manziel first. See the video below.
The Cleveland Browns took part in the challenge as a team on Aug. 15, which can also be seen below, but Hogan personally called out the rookie QB.
