AUSTIN — The State Senate unanimously passes Senate Resolution 6, honoring Texas A&M’s latest Heisman Trophy winner, Tyler native Johnny Manziel. State Senator Charles Schwertner, who introduced “Johnny Football,” was just as star-struck and giddy as all the other lawmakers at the Capitol. Manziel’s hometown senator, Kevin Eltife, even jokingly took credit for Manziel’s success. Eltife drew chuckles as he told the gridiron star, “But I think I threw the football with you in the back yard — and I am certain I had an impact on your career!” After the toasts, then it was picture time with all the members of the House and Senate — even the Texas Exes.
