In Today's Johnny Manziel News: Ex-OSU Maurice Clarett Is Rooting For Him

I'm personally rooting for Him. I know what it's like to be dragged through the mud and to be confused and stressed through it all. It's mentally and emotionally draining. No one can tell you how to be famous or how to manage attention, notoriety and the spotlight. Drinking and drugging is often a temporary escape. This isn't just about him. It's lots of ppl who go through what he goes through but they don't have to live with the public ridicule. I've been through it. He's just expressing himself right now. I believe he just needs some alone time and personal development. Football isn't important. He's mentally unhealthy and needs more encouragement than ridicule..... Accept responsibility, find out what needs to be improved and grow.
