There aren’t many people out there nowadays who have the back of Johnny Manziel after he was cut from the Cleveland Browns after a controversial 2015 season, and an overall turbulent two years in Cleveland.
Von Miller, however, is one man who still appears to back Manziel. He has lobbied for his fellow Texas A&M Aggie to be signed by the Denver Broncos, although that seems like a huge stretch for the defending champs.
“If I had to make my decision on it, he would already be on the Broncos,” Miller told reporters Friday. “But we’ve got guys in the front office that make those decisions, and they put us in championships with those decisions.
“So I’m just going to follow those guys and have those guys take the lead.”
That doesn’t mean Miller still can’t support him, though. Manziel told TMZ that he was living with Miller.
“I’m living out here with my guy, Von Miller. Everybody knows Von Miller. Super Bowl MVP, Von Miller, my brother. I’m living with him right now,” Manziel told TMZ on Saturday night. “We’re getting our lives together, bro.”
Manziel also showed a lack of awareness when it comes to his partying and drinking.
“I don’t think there’s anything wrong with partying, bro,” Manziel said. “There’s a difference between partying and being out of control.”
He added that he had been out in West Hollywood five to six nights in a row, and said that NFL teams won’t have a problem with his partying.
Mike Klis of 9News.com reports that Miller and Manziel are not living together, adding that Miller is currently living in housing that is provided by ABC’s Dancing with the Stars, not to both him and Manziel.

Overall, this appears to be yet another bad look for Manziel, whose chances of getting on an NFL roster seem to get slimmer and slimmer.
