Johnny Manziel has a new gig as an auto insurance spokesperson.

The former Heisman Trophy winner stars in a new commercial for Direct Auto Insurance, in which he refers to himself as an "ex-pro football player" and says he knows "what's it like to not know where your next paycheck is coming from."

Another spot features Manziel reading mean tweets.

Manziel last played in the NFL in 2015 as a member of the Cleveland Browns. He went on to have brief stints in the CFL and the now-defunct AAF, and recently expressed interest in reuniting with coach June Jones on Houston's XFL team.
