Cleveland Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel has entered rehab.
“Johnny knows there are areas in which he needs to improve in order to be a better family member, friend and teammate and he thought the offseason was the right time to take this step,” adviser Brad Beckworth told ESPN in a statement.
“On behalf of Johnny and his family, we’re asking for privacy until he rejoins the team in Cleveland.”
“We respect Johnny‘s initiative in this decision and will fully support him throughout this process. Our players’ health and well-being will always be of the utmost importance to the Cleveland Browns,” general manager Ray Farmer added.
“We continually strive to create a supportive environment and provide the appropriate resources, with our foremost focus being on the individual and not just the football player. Johnny‘s privacy will be respected by us during this very important period and we hope that others will do the same,” Ray concluded.
Johnny is a very talented quarterback who won the prestigious Heisman Trophy in college. He’s also known to be big in the party scene, having partied with Justin Bieber , Tyrese , and others in the past several months.
Our thoughts are with Johnny during this time.
