Joe Haden defends Johnny Manziel: They were heckling him for two hours

Joe Haden has always been one of the biggest public supporters of Johnny Manziel, and his stance has not changed in the wake of Manziel’s latest incident involving an overzealous fan.

Haden told reporters after practice on Tuesday that he has been with Manziel recently when fans were harassing Manziel about his stint in rehab.

“I’m walking around with Johnny and we’re leaving a little restaurant, we’re walking back to valet going to the car, and then, you just hear, ‘How was rehab?'” Haden said, via Mary Kay Cabot of Northeast Ohio Media Group. “I’m like, ‘Dude, you’re just getting at him when we’re chilling, leaving the restaurant,’ so it’s just negativity that people are trying to get a reaction out of him, and it’s upsetting.
