Johnny Manziel left rehab this week after a two month stint at the facility. From all accounts, Johnny football took the rehab very seriously and there seems to be nothing but good things being said about that part of his life. Now it is time to shift focus back to the game he loves, where there are not many good things being said about this part of his life at all. The Browns currently are not sure yet if they wasted a draft pick on him but only he can prove to them that they were right about him to begin with.

While he won’t say what he was in rehab for (Caron Pennsylvania, the facility he stayed in for over two months, treats drug and alcohol addiction), he asked for continued privacy in his uphill battle to become Johnny Football (emphasis on the “Football” part) once again. Read it in full below:
“I would like to thank my family, friends, the Browns organization, my teammates, and Browns fans everywhere, for your patience, understanding, and support during my stay at Caron. The doctors and staff have been amazing and what I’ve learned in the last couple of months has been tremendous. I owe private apologies to a lot of people that I disappointed but a very public one to the Browns organization and the fans that I let down. I take full responsibility for my actions and it’s my intention to work very hard to regain everyone’s trust and respect. I understand that will take time and will only happen through what I do and not what I say. I also understand there’s a lot of curiosity about this but anyone who has a friend or family-member that’s been through things like this knows it’s an ongoing process. I’m going to continue to ask folks to try to respect my privacy as I determine to what degree I am comfortable talking about a subject which I consider very personal. Most of you have been considerate about that and I thank you for it. I look forward to seeing my teammates next week and focusing on football and my desire to be the best possible player, teammate, and man that I can be.”
People are rooting for Manziel to get back to where he was, myself included. Hopefully he makes it happen and stays focused.
