The Cleveland Browns selected Johnny "Football" Manziel with the 22nd pick in the first round of the 2014 draft with hopes he would be their franchise quarterback of the future. That may eventually come to fruition, but as of now he's been a huge disappointment for the team.
The Heisman Trophy winner out of Texas A&M has developed a reputation for partying too hard and failing to take his football duties as seriously as he should.
Over the 2014, 4th of July weekend a photo of Manziel rolling up a dollar bill in a nightclub bathroom emerged. Rolled up bills are normally used to snort illegal drugs, although none can be seen in the photo and the player has never tested positive for drugs.
On December 27, Manziel missed a team walk through as they prepared to play the Baltimore Ravens. He was injured at the time, but was supposed to be at the team's facility to receive treatment for the injury.
Team security tracked the quarterback down at his home. A team source described Manziel as being "drunk off his ass" when he was found.
One unidentified Browns player described Manziel's rookie season as a "100 percent joke" during an ESPN interview.
Looking to get his career and his life on track Manziel entered a rehab facility, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
"Johnny knows there are areas he needs to improve on to help him be a better family member, friend and teammate, so he decided to take this step in his life during the offseason. On behalf of Johnny and his family, we're asking for privacy until he rejoins the team in Cleveland," Brad Beckworth, a Manziel family advisor said in a statement.
No reason was given for what Manziel is getting treatment for.
