The rookie signal-caller became notorious during the past two years for his off-the-field behavior, including a report at the end of the 2014-15 regular season which claimed that Manziel threw a house party just days before the team's final game of the year. Manziel, however, denied the report, but did acknowledge that he needs to make better personal decisions going forward.
"Either I'm going to learn," he said in December, "or I'm going to be finding something else to do."
We wish Manziel the best with his treatment.
