Johnny Manziel Gets His Chance to Start, and He's Earned It

In the Cleveland locker room this summer, Johnny Manziel was the typical rookie. He was mostly quiet, players told me then and now, and those players—then and now—make sure this is emphasized: Manziel has been a total professional.    

There was one meeting where Manziel was late, but none of the players I texted with said they knew of any other issue.

"I've been waiting for this cocky ass---e to show up," one player told me this week. "It never happened. All I see is a pro."

Manziel and Brian Hoyer were informed on Monday that Manziel would start Week 15. I can tell you there are some Browns players—a few—who believe that Hoyer should remain the starter. That is true. But there is also widespread support for Manziel. They believe he deserves the chance.
