Johnny Manziel’s father faked a heart attack to help Cleveland Brown’s quarterback skip drug test

Johnny Manziel, once a rising star in football, has faced a rollercoaster of a career that Netflix recently chronicled in a documentary. The documentary has sparked discussions about Manziel’s journey from college success to NFL struggles, and one particular revelation has caught the attention of fans.

A recent Twitter post highlighted a significant revelation from the documentary involving Johnny Manziel’s agent, Erik Burkhardt. Burkhardt disclosed that in the lead-up to the NFL combine, Manziel’s father resorted to an extreme measure – faking a heart attack – to enable his son to leave the combine early and potentially avoid a drug test. This tactic allowed Manziel to sidestep the possibility of testing positive for substances.

The behind-the-scenes maneuvering didn’t end there. The post also discussed the Texans’ initial interest in drafting Manziel over Clowney, but a video showing Manziel partying led to a clear decision to remove him from their draft list. Ultimately, Manziel ended up with the Cleveland Browns.
