Mentor: Johnny Manziel 'grounded' after rehab

Earlier this week, Johnny Manziel said he reached out to famed orthopedist James Andrews about tendinitis in the Cleveland Browns quarterback’s right elbow. But Manziel has said nothing publicly about who he called after entering an alcohol and drug treatment center in January.

Few NFL fans would recognize the man’s name — Julius Scott.

Scott, quarterback coach and offensive coordinator at Tivy High School in Kerrville, Texas, when Manziel played there, said he heard from Manziel last spring. And that at the time, Scott added, Manziel was finishing a stay of approximately 75 days at an undisclosed treatment center from which he made a request.
