It wouldn't be Cleveland sports without some bad news, right?

The Browns snatched up Johnny Manziel as the 22nd overall pick, but he may not have one of his best weapons when he plays his first season. Wide receiver Josh Gordon has failed his second drug test and he's facing a season-long suspension.

Gordon was one of the best receivers too few people were talking about last season. He was the league's leader in receiving yards (1,646) after missing two games because he violated the drug policy. Gordon also pushed for the Browns to draft Manziel.

"I think I was just a big fan of his overall game, his prowess on it," Gordon told ESPN Radio. "His outlook on it. His fire and ambition and will to win was greater than I think any other prospect in the draft."

Well, welcome to the big leagues, Johnny Football.
