The Cleveland Browns probably should have taken ‘circus like atmosphere’ into account before selecting the player they chose at No. 22.
Bart Hubbuck is reporting that the Browns have barred the national media from this weekends rookie minicamp to prevent ‘Johnny Football mania.”
Wow, the Browns told me the national media is barred from their rookie minicamp this weekend due to the team's "tight grip" on Manziel.

Browns PR director told me: "We don't want this to be a Tebow situation. It's not going to be Johnny Football Mania out there."

Cleveland has a chance to be relevant again in something other than losing, and they don’t want a ton of attention. Good luck with that.
