It seems that Johnny Manziel is still feeling a lot of deep pain about his disastrous two-year run as a quarterback for the Cleveland Browns.
When he was drafted 22nd overall in the 2014 NFL Draft, Browns fans hoped the Texas A&M star could be the savior they dreamt of. Instead, the youngster added his name to the list of first-round draft busts with two very disappointing seasons in Cleveland. Fans have little good to say about his time with the franchise, and neither does Manziel.
So why the deep loathing for the franchise that used a first-round pick on him over a decade ago? Well, the brash and well-publicized party animal believes the organization did nothing to put him in a situation to succeed. Especially after doing in-depth research into the problematic youth he was on and off the field.
In 14 NFL appearances, Manziel posted a 2-6 record as he hit on just 57% of his passes for 1,675 passing yards, seven touchdowns, and five interceptions. However, while being a huge disappointment on the field, the quarterback’s passion to improve was questioned due to off-field struggles. Including substance abuse.
Manziel only played two seasons in the NFL and never came close to a return after washing out of the league a decade ago.
