COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) -- About 350 fans paid at least $125 each to meet former Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel as he prepares for his second NFL season.

The 2012 Heisman Trophy winner appeared Sunday at Aggieland Outfitters in College Station.

The Eagle newspaper reports Manziel hosted his first public autograph signing session since being drafted last year by Cleveland. Some fans stood in line, on a sweltering Sunday when temperatures reached the 90s, to greet Manziel and get an autograph.

Representatives from Manziel's licensing agent oversaw the sold-out event.

Manziel threw for 7,820 yards and 63 touchdowns for A&M.
