Let Johnny Play!

It seems a though Browns quarterback, Johnny Manziel, has been all the talk within the past month. It’s funny because the talk has not been focused on his career as the Brown’s potential starting quarterback, but rather about his extracurricular activities. Yes he was court-side at the 2nd NBA Finals game sporting a Cavs snapback, yes he was in LA the weekend prior partying with Drake, but no, he has not gotten in any trouble that jeopardizes his career as a professional football player. Manziel seems to be getting his work done when it needs to be done, moving from 3rd string quarterback to 2nd string while also taking some snaps with the first team offense during 11 on 11’s.

Aside form moving up the totem poll within the Browns organization, Manziel was recently drafted by the San Diego Padres (28th round, 837 overall) for his athleticism in the middle infield. Johnny seems to be doing just fine balancing his social life with his professional football career. Most people just need to realize that Manziel is a young star that is still getting acquainted with all the media attention. He likes to go out on the town and have some fun while also repping his Cleveland Browns, which bears no harm. He will get the job done on the football field but he is also allowed to have some fun. Work with no play is like having a sickness with no medicine, not healthy!
