Manziel still interested in football, exploring his options
Johnny Manziel has apparently been making good on his vow to stay sober starting on July 1.
Kent Babb of the Washington Post recently wrote an extended feature on Manziel and his recent activities. The former Cleveland Browns quarterback denied all requests to be interviewed, but did release a statement about his current stage of life.
I'm actually doing well. I have good friends around me supporting what I do and I try to support them in what they want to do. I’m not saying I’m never drinking again, but for now just mostly being healthy. I've got a killer gym in my house and I can spend time working out. I’m interested in doing a lot of different things in my life - including football - but, right now, I’m just exploring options and waiting to see what the future holds.
Manziel's attorney said in early June that the 23-year-old is preparing for the 2016 NFL season, which he is suspended for the the first four games of.
Other than an offer from the Arena Football League, there have been no teams to express interest in giving Johnny Football a contract or tryout.
