From the moment he walked across the stage at Radio City Music Hall during the 2014 NFL Draft flashing his “Money Manziel” sign, we knew that Cleveland Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel was … different.
Manziel came to town as the type of athlete the Browns had never seen before, one who was as much a brand as a football player. He also came with, through no fault of his own, a rabid fanbase that cared about everything Manziel does – both on and off the field.
That fanbase cares solely about Manziel the individual, wanting him on the field no matter what.
