Johnny Manziel, one of the most eagerly anticipated prospects in the 2014 NFL draft was a former Texas A&M quarterback. Manziel was the favorite to be selected among the top five picks in the draft. Nevertheless, that was his lone NFL highlight. The combination of Manziel’s drug addiction and self-destruction brought him to ruin. He regrets a few things about how he handled his friendship with LeBron James, a former standout player for the Cavaliers, while they were both in Cleveland.
The former quarterback talked candidly about his turbulent period and how his mental health contributed to his problems during his interview with Club Shay Shay. During his second stint with the Cavaliers, Manziel claims that Bron made every effort to be there for him by extending an invitation to visit his house, but his depression prevented him from moving out of bed.
Johnny Manziel said via Club Shay Shay:
I remember this is how bad off I was whenever I was in Cleveland. LeBron texted me every week to come over to the house and watch a game or play poker with the boys. I just tried to be there.

Manziel continued by expressing his remorse for having let so many people down during his time in Cleveland and acknowledging that his actions still bother him deeply.
Manziel said that he was taken under LeBron James‘ and Maverick Carter’s guidance, and they helped him recognize his potential to be exceptional. Because LeBron and Maverick win when they wager on something they think is certain, he thinks they are probably still mad at him.
