Cleveland Browns QB Johnny Manziel admitted in a press conference that he has “made some rookie mistakes.” The once indignant Manziel says he is vowing to be focused only on football in from here on out, but still says he can have a social life. Seems a little bit of an oxymoron but here are the details of Manziel’s press conference.
“Me and coach Pettine and Ray Farmer really talked about a lot of things that transpired over the course of the offseason,” Manziel said Friday. “The main thing is people within this building, my teammates, the coaching staff, the higher-ups in this organization — we’ve all been on the same page, we’ve all been good and we’re very eager to be moving forward.”
“At the end of the day, I’ve made some rookie mistakes, there’s some things I wish I could have gone back and done a little differently, but continuing to move forward and try to represent this organization in a positive manner and a positive light.”
“I don’t think there’s anything wrong with me going out and having a nightlife and having a social life,” he said. “I am 21 years old, and I do like going out. It was the offseason, free time for us, and if I want to go out, hang out with my friends or go to nightclubs or do things like that, I think that’s within my rights to be doing that.”
Manziel’s actions will, of course, speak a lot louder than his words.
