Johnny Manziel working with George Whitfield in San Diego

More than two months after announcing sobriety, Johnny Manziel is living in the San Diego area while training with quarterbacks coach George Whitfield in hopes of making a return to professional football.

"Football is his absolute focus right now," said Denise Michaels, Manziel's publicist.

Michaels declined specifics on any potential NFL team workouts for Manziel, who was linked to the New Orleans Saints in an NFL Network report.

Manziel worked exclusively with Whitfield -- whose client list includes Cam Newton, Andrew Luck and Ben Roethlisberger -- during the pre-draft process in 2014.
