The engagement was reported over the weekend by TMZ, with the Heisman Trophy winning quarterback telling the gossip site why he decided to get hitched. 

'When you find a girl as amazing as I did that saved me from where I was in my life, you absolutely put a ring on it,' Manziel said.

Manziel had reportedly studied the engagement playbook before popping the question, as he came prepared with a huge bouquet of flowers and a massive diamond ring that sealed the deal.

'I'm in shock,' Tiesi told TMZ. 'I couldn't imagine a day without [Johnny]. I'm so glad I never have to.'

The couple have only been together for a few months but have posted several photos online, like the one above

Manziel has credited Tiesi for the inspiration to revive his football career and stage an attempt at an NFL comeback.

The disgraced football player took to Instagram last week to praise her for her support.

'Without you there is no ComebackSZN,' he wrote alongside the video.

The footage featured Tiesi laughing as she filmed Manziel carrying her while running up a hill.

Manziel and Tiesi have seemingly been inseparable these past few months as he continues to embark on potential comeback season.

His short-lived NFL career was plagued by a series of off-field incidents and claims of substance abuse.

Most recently, Manziel was in court to face a misdemeanor charge after being accused of hitting, kidnapping and threatening to kill ex-girlfriend Colleen Crowley last year.

He became known as 'Johnny Football' after winning the Heisman Trophy in 2012.

Manziel was chosen by the Browns in the first round of the National Football League draft after leaving Texas A&M University early following his success on the field.

He was only two years into his four-year contract with the Browns, which was worth a reported $8.245million, when he was cut by the team.

Despite being cut, Manziel reportedly still received $7.7million of that contract.
