Johnny Manziel makes shocking admission about Browns stint

By Aaron Becker | Last updated 8/10/23

Quarterback Johnny Manziel is viewed as one of the Browns' worst draft picks of all time and his latest admission only further proves that point.

"Their GM's calling me going, "He doesn't watch tape," sports agent Erik Burkhardt says. "I'm like, "Well, he's got to watch some tape." He's like, "E.B., his iPad hours is 0.00."

Johnny Manziel admitted in his new Netflix documentary that he watched ZERO tape during his time with the #Browns.

Manziel goes on to state "zero" when asked if it were true.

At Texas A&M, Manziel was one of the more electrifying players in college football history, winning the Heisman Trophy in 2012. But character issues scared several teams away in the 2014 NFL Draft and he fell to Cleveland at pick No. 22.

Manziel only played two seasons in the NFL, both with the Browns, finishing with a 2-6 record as a starter. He threw for 1,675 yards, seven touchdowns and seven interceptions.

During his short stint in the league, he was fined for flipping off Washington players during a game and demoted to third string after a video surfaced of him partying during the team's bye week.

Cleveland released "Johnny Football" in 2016 as he was under a domestic violence investigation in Dallas. The case was later dismissed.

The Browns certainly have a lot of names in their Hall of Shame, but Manziel might just take the cake.
