Now that Johnny Manzeil has officially been discharged following a 10-week long stint in rehab, all the attention naturally turns to his reunion with the Cleveland Browns.
Johnny Manziel Leaves Rehab With Plenty of Work To Be Done
Will the Browns accept Manziel back? Will Manziel improve upon the poor play and lack of focus that landed him in treatment to begin with? Will Manziel start the 2015 season in a different jersey? These are all variables that have yet to be sorted out.
One thing we do know is that Johnny Football is offering from very public contrition right off the bat. On Friday the 25-year-old issued a formal apology for fans to read on the team's website.
Below is Manziel's formal statement of apology, produced in full:
"I would like to thank my family, friends, the Browns organization, my teammates, and Browns fans everywhere, for your patience, understanding, and support during my stay at Caron. The doctors and staff have been amazing and what I've learned in the last couple of months has been tremendous. I owe private apologies to a lot of people that I disappointed but a very public one to the Browns organization and the fans that I let down. I take full responsibility for my actions and it's my intention to work very hard to regain everyone's trust and respect. I understand that will take time and will only happen through what I do and not what I say. I also understand there's a lot of curiosity about this but anyone who has a friend or family-member that's been through things like this knows it's an ongoing process. I'm going to continue to ask folks to try to respect my privacy as I determine to what degree I am comfortable talking about a subject which I consider very personal. Most of you have been considerate about that and I thank you for it. I look forward to seeing my teammates next week and focusing on football and my desire to be the best possible player, teammate, and man that I can be.”
