Ever since joining the Cleveland Browns, Johnny Manziel has continued to do Johnny Manziel things, because, of course, he's still Johnny Manziel.
Browns ‘alarmed’ by Johnny Manziel’s partying, per report
The team says Manziel’s partying has hurt him on the field.

Manziel has been to Las Vegas to party a number of times since being drafted, making friends with an inflatable swan and, most recently, rolling up $20 bills in the bathroom. This has infuriated some Browns fans and concerned others, including former Browns quarterback Brady Quinn, who doesn't think Manziel is doing things the #ClevelandWay.
Browns coach Mike Pettine has already addressed the photos with Manziel, and he didn’t seem concerned, saying it will all die down once camp starts. However, according to Cleveland.com, the Browns are “alarmed” by what they’ve seen, and it might cost Manziel on the field:
Manziel regressed in practice after the first week of organized team activities, and some in the organization attributed it to too much jet-setting and not enough dedication to the playbook.
Team officials had bought into Manziel's pre-draft promises to tone down the partying and leave his frat-boy lifestyle back in College Station, Texas, and they've been stunned by his non-stop antics, sources said.
While Manziel is expected to be the starter eventually, this will hurt the hopes of some Browns fans who hoped to see their new franchise quarterback immediately and might now have to deal with watching their team start Brian Hoyer come September if Manziel can't learn the playbook soon enough.
