Ex-Texas A&M teammate Mike Evans: Johnny Manziel gave great speech at my wedding

Johnny Manziel is under severe scrutiny these days, thanks to a seemingly downward spiral from starting quarterback for the Cleveland Browns to an expected release once the NFL calendar begins in March in the wake of a domestic violence investigation involving his former girlfriend — with his father also fearing Manziel may be suicidal.
