Numerous current and former NFL players have reached out in order to help Cleveland Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel as hie life continues to spin out of control.

One former player that believes he can help Manziel is Earl Campbell.

“We gotta get him some help,” Campbell told ESPN. “I know everybody says that, but if you’ve never been there, how can you listen to someone? I think some former Heisman winners like myself, some Hall of Famers that have done it all, he should sit down and listen to what we have to say because we’ve been through it all.”

“I’m like everybody else that lives in Texas,” Campbell said. “I’m disappointed, I’m upset a little bit. But I think at some point, you have to say everybody was that age at one time and we have to get back to what’s important. . . . I would tell him that I used to be 23 years old. At one point I had Texas in the palm of my hand as far as an athlete. At a very young age, my mother said it’s not so important what you do now, it’s what you do over your lifetime. Johnny’s gonna be just like me eventually. He’s going to sit down and have a chance to sit down and talk to people. Is he going to be remembered for [his problems] or is he going to be remembered for a guy that did like Von Miller. Got up off the carpet and did something about it.”

Manziel is not a bad guy, but if he doesn’t get the help he needs things will only get worse.  He could end up in jail or dead.

It’s apparent that the life as an NFL player has become too much for him and he needs some assistance.
