In a new Netflix documentary, former Cleveland Browns and NFL quarterback Johnny Manziel revealed he attempted suicide after the Browns cut him following the 2015 season. Netflix released “Untold: Johnny Football” and in it, Manziel reveals his depression after falling out of the league.
From ESPN’s Jake Trotter, who recaps the episode.
“Manziel said he had purchased a gun “months earlier” with the plan to use it to carry out death by suicide, but when he pulled the trigger the weapon malfunctioned.”
Manziel says he doesn’t know how the gun didn’t fire, pulling the trigger with it only clicking.
