Johnny Manziel Offered Help From Jake ‘The Snake’ Roberts
The embattled former Texas A&M quarterback has the former WWE star as a supporter.Manziel has been to rehab for his partying, but since that the Cleveland Brown quarterback has had several incidents. Including a roadside fight with his girlfriend and even videos surfaces of him partying.
The latest video shows him in disguise visiting a Las Vegas club where he used the name "Billy". This has lead to people creating an alter-ego of sorts called "Billy Football".
Now in a report from Rolling Stone, the fomer WWE star Jake "The Snake" Roberts has offered up advice. Roberts is notorious for his substance abuse problems and has offered to meet with Johnny Football to talk.
Roberts says, "I understand where his head is at. I understand what it is to be Jake the Snake, or Johnny Football. You got all of these expectations from other people. Not just yourself, but other people. You start being the party guy for them."
While many may not take this meeting serious, Roberts certainly has the background to support the downfalls of success. Drugs and booze nearly killed him back in 2012. Then he moved in with another former wrestling Diamond Dallas Page, who has been helping former wrestlers get clean with the help of his DDP yoga as a basis.
Roberts has since turned things around and is offering help up to the young quarterback. In the report he says he can see Manziel walking down the same path as he did, which will ultimately lead to destruction.
Time will only tell if this meeting ever happens, a cynical person might say Roberts is only trying to promote his new documentary, "The Resurrection Of Jake The Snake", which ironically is out on iTunes next week. However, anyone who has struggled with addiction and made it out often feels the need to help others with the same affliction.
And if taking doesn't work, he could always bring out his snake "Damien" for some scare tactics.
