Former Cleveland Browns star Johnny Manziel is just the latest celebrity to start going insanely viral with things he had to say on Club Shay Shay.
Manziel reflected on his time in college and his short-lived NFL career and much more with fellow pro player Shannon Sharpe.
Manziel struggled off the field during his time with the Browns, even after spending time in rehab, but when he spoke to Sharpe, he revealed so much more.
Back in 2016, Manziel was infamously spotted at a casino in Las Vegas while the Browns played their last game of the season. He was released from the team that March.
“I was 210 pounds when I left Cleveland,” he said. Later that year, he spent more time in Sin City, saying “I was 170 pounds sitting in Vegas.”
Sharpe was in shock when he asked how he lost so much weight in a short amount of time.
“How do you lose 40 pounds? You’re on a strict diet of blow,” Manziel said.

Sharpe’s face couldn’t believe what he had just heard.
Manziel didn’t realize he was losing any weight, but that changed when he was able to weigh himself at a Vegas hotel.
“At that point in time, I would look in a mirror and I didn’t see myself any different than when I was in Cleveland,” Manziel said. “Until I stepped on a scale at the Cosmopolitan Hotel in Las Vegas, I didn’t realize I had lost 40 pounds.”
Despite the incredible weight loss, he continued to party in Vegas.
“I remember these pictures came out,” Manziel said. “And I was like, ‘Damn. What am I doing? Whatever, we’ll figure that out later. Let’s go again.'”
Manziel had 1,675 passing yards in two seasons with the team. To put that into perspective, he was already passed by Joe Flacco in what will be Flacco’s sixth game with the franchise this past season.
His NFL career fizzled out with less than a full season played in terms of career games. The former first-round pick has a 7-7 touchdown to interception ratio in his time as a pro.
