Johnny Manziel addressed the rumors surrounding his early departure from the Manning Passing Academy during SEC Media Days last week, but of course the story didn't end there. Rumors and Rants published a new report Saturday indicating that Manziel actually was out partying in New Orleans the night before being dismissed from the camp. That was quickly refuted by a source who spoke to Bruce Feldman of CBS Sports, however.
No, Johnny Manziel wasn’t in New Orleans during Manning camp

“That story about him being in New Orleans is 100 percent BS,” the source told Feldman.
The Manning Passing Academy is held in Thibodaux, La., which is approximately an hour from New Orleans. Manziel was there serving as a camp counselor and was late for some of his assignments on July 13. Manziel and Academy officials maintained that was because of illness, and the quarterback’s father later said his son was recovering from dehydration.
That prompted a lot of speculation about what happened on Friday, July 12. But while we may never know the full details of that evening, it appears we can safely set aside the notion that Manziel was on Bourbon Street partying into the wee hours.
