Mike Evans: 'Very Noble' for Johnny Manziel to Open Up About Personal Struggles

Tampa Bay Buccaneers star Mike Evans lauded former college teammate Johnny Manziel for being candid about his mental health struggles in the past.

In the Netflix documentary Untold: Johnny Football, Manziel said he contemplated suicide after the Cleveland Browns released him in 2016. The former Texas A&M quarterback went so far as to purchase a gun, which he said "just clicked on me" when he pulled the trigger.

Evans, who played alongside Manziel on the Aggies in 2012 and 2013, said he was hearing the story for the first time like everyone else.
