Former Browns teammate says pressure Johnny Manziel faced would've driven him to suicide

Former Cleveland Browns and now Cincinnati Bengals linebacker Karlos Dansby spoke with Jim Rome the other day when he painted a very dark picture about Johnny Manziel's two years in Cleveland.

Dansby spoke in general terms about the pressure that the young quarterback faced -- "the whole persona, everything" -- but didn't specifically reference Manziel's battle with alcohol addiction, which led to a stay at a rehabilitation center in February 2015.

Below is partial transcript of the conversation that starts at 11:05 in the audio.

Dansby is talking about his own emotional capacity but nevertheless, he made a really strong statement.

Clearly Manziel needs help and by the looks of his activities even last night, when he got served with another lawsuit outside a club, it looks like he's not getting it.
