Lawrence Taylor Comments on Johnny Manziel After Indictment

Hall of Fame linebacker Lawrence Taylor, who was known nearly as much for his off-field behavior as his brilliance between the sidelines, offered perspective on troubled quarterback Johnny Manziel in an interview with TMZ Sports on Tuesday.

"It's not the 1980s. It's not the early 1990s. You cannot do what you want to do in the NFL anymore," Taylor said.

Manziel, 23, was officially indicted on misdemeanor assault charges by a Dallas grand jury on Tuesday, per Jill Martin of CNN. He's charged with hitting his ex-girlfriend, Colleen Crowley, during a January argument.
