NFL Sober Coach: Things are Looking up for Johnny Football
A majority of our blogs deal with people and athletes, their hardships and downfalls. It seems as though there is an endless stream of DUI’s, arrests and even, overdoses and deaths. Today I would like to take a few moments and talk about what appears to be an early success story. Maybe it would be safer to say that this recovery story is off to a great start if this path continues and this NFL star will have saved his career and most likely his life. Last year, Johnny Manziel was drafted by the Cleveland Browns with extremely high expectations. However, there were some warning signs that came with this extremely talented player. Johnny Manziel claimed that his boozing, drugging and erratic behavior was behind him and he was ready to concentrate solely on a promising NFL career. Unfortunately, soon it was obvious that this was not the case. Not long after being drafted his erratic behavior resurfaced. It began with the infamous booze chugging pool party where he was completely annihilated and floating around on an inflatable Swan, to an after party where he appeared to be talking and slurring into an imaginary telephone made out of money. After the 2014 NFL season started, the erratic behavior continued and soon Johnny Manziel was missing meetings, not studying his playbook and his play on the field was horrendous. The Cleveland Browns benched Manziel a few times and then his season was ended on a mediocre hit by a defender. .As soon as the season ended Johnny Manziel took responsibility for his actions and his behavior and decided on his own to get help and checked himself into rehab. This is where the story begins to take a turn for the better
