Paul Manziel, the father of Cleveland Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel, stated Friday he's concerned his 23-year-old son is heading for a bleak future if he doesn't receive help soon.
Kate Hairopoulos of the Dallas Morning News provided comments from the elder Manziel, who said his son refused admittance to rehabilitation facilities twice over the past week. He doesn't think that paints a promising picture moving forward.
"I truly believe if they can't get him help, he won't live to see his 24th birthday," Paul Manziel said.
On Friday, Manziel's agent, Erik Burkhardt, announced that he was parting ways with the signal-caller, per Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.
