Manziel's mentor concerned after admission of drinking

Johnny Manziel’s high school coach and mentor is concerned after Manziel admitted to drinking after being pulled over by police following a domestic incident.

Julius Scott was Manziel’s quarterbacks coach and offensive quarterback in high school, and the two are close enough that Scott quit his job and stayed with the Browns quarterback during the spring after Manziel asked him to. Scott told USA Today that he has not spoken to Manziel since the recent incident, but is concerned about the quarterback after his offseason stint in rehab.

“Did that surprise me? Yes, it did,” Scott told the paper with regards to Manziel’s admission of drinking.
