It wouldn’t have taken a genius to figure out that Johnny Manziel’s football career was set to end in disaster given his shenanigans in college. And fans are seeing exactly how it all unfolded as Netflix has released a documentary detailing the quarterback’s downfall in which he’s the star.
Manziel has quite a few stories to tell, and so does his agent.
Erik Burkhardt, who represented the QB, revealed he made Manziel take drug tests every week leading up to the NFL Combine and the player remained clean up until the last week before falling back into his partying habits.

The agent came up with a plan to have Manziel’s father fake a heart attack and have himself hospitalized so the QB could leave the Combine early. You could check out his explanation right below:
The Cleveland Browns would end up drafting Manziel as the 22nd overall pick in 2014. He played just 14 games before they released him.
