No matter how hard he tries, Cleveland Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel can’t seem to keep himself out of trouble. Even after going to rehab this offseason and trying to get his life on the straightened path, the former first-round pick just isn’t understanding the maturity that’s needed from an NFL quarterback.

The latest example of Manziel’s inability to keep himself out of the public eye is this week’s trip to Austin during the Browns’ bye week, which included some clubbing and drinking expensive champagne. He hit up the Rio Rooftop and sipped Dom with DJ LX instead of doing what he told the media he had planned — which was to “relax.”

Here’s the video of Manziel, who has been to rehab for alcohol abuse, drinking and partying:

This comes just over a month after Manziel was questioned by police following a domestic incident between the young gunslinger and his girlfriend, Colleen Crowley (you can read the details here). Couple those two encounters together, and it makes perfect sense why the Browns are considering benching Manziel.

Browns coach Mike Pettine already made it clear that the video was “disappointing,” and could cost Manziel his starting job. It’s just sad to see such a promising young athlete flush his potential down the toilet with such careless, idiotic actions.

We’ll see what happens, but don’t be surprised to see Johnny Football holding a clipboard on Monday night.
