Overview

  • The 2012 Heisman Trophy winner made the remarks during an appearance on Shannon Sharpe and Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson’s Nightcap podcast.
  • Manziel said he let an “amazing opportunity” slip yet argued the Browns did not place him in the right situation to develop as a quarterback.
  • Selected 22nd overall in 2014, he played 14 games over two seasons in Cleveland, going 2-6 as a starter with 1,675 passing yards, seven touchdowns and seven interceptions before his 2016 release.
  • Coverage noted his “0-16” phrasing is technically outdated because the NFL regular season expanded to 17 games.
  • After brief stints in the CFL, AAF and Fan Controlled Football, he has pivoted to media work, with the New York Post reporting he will appear on Fox’s Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test.
