Manziel pledge to go sober sincere, source says
Johnny Manziel is sincere with his plans to get sober starting with a self-imposed date of July 1, a source close to the quarterback said Wednesday.
The former Cleveland Browns player had hoped to play in the NFL in the coming season but has told people he understands 2017 might be more realistic.
Manziel talked about his thoughts on sobriety in an interview with TMZ Sports.
"I do believe he's serious," the source told ESPN. "He's talked for a while about knuckling down, getting ready and working out. It's more about health and having options and feeling good. If that works out for this season, great. But if not, that's OK, too."
