At least one person believes Johnny Manziel can turn both his life and career around.

Arena Football League commissioner Scott Butera said if the troubled ex-quarterback is committed to a return to football, Manziel's welcome in his league.

"We could provide a strong platform for him to demonstrate that he is back," the commissioner told TMZ Sports. "We would also work with him and provide him whatever help he needed to live a healthy life."

Manziel has yet to respond to Butera's offer following a claim he'd go sober starting July 1 in a comeback attempt.

The 23-year-old free agent may have to consider the opportunity after receiving a four-game suspension from the NFL on Thursday.
