"I would say we wasted a draft pick to go get this guy who doesn't give a f**k. And that's my only thing in life that I haven't been able to look back and like fully have closure on. ... It's probably one of the only things that I haven't looked back on and been able to be like super, super OK with what happened." Manziel played 14 games with the Browns and had failed stints in the Canadian Football League and the Alliance of American Football.
