Johnny Manziel’s Father Says He’s a ‘Druggie’ and ‘I Hope He Goes to Jail’

In the middle of his domestic violence case, former Cleveland Browns QB Johnny Manziel was involved in a hit-and-run this week. His lawyer had been seeking a plea deal––something we only know because he accidentally texted about it to the AP.

Manziel’s attorney said in the text, “Heaven help us if one of the conditions is to pee in a bottle.”

Well, Manziel’s own father spoke out last night and said that his son needs some serious help.

In comments made to ESPN’s Josina Anderson, Paul Manziel called his son a “druggie” and said jail might be best for him:
