Johnny Manziel’s former offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan has nothing but praise for the former Cleveland Browns quarterback.

“I was with Johnny for eight months, and Johnny is a very good guy. Johnny worked as hard for me as anybody. Everything I asked him to do, he did. He was very humble. He did not think he had all the answers. He knew he had to work,” Shanahan, who is now with the Falcons, told ESPN. (SLIDESHOW: This Gorgeous Woman Might Be The Sexiest Girlfriend In The NFL)

He also added, “Unfortunately, he’s had a lot of things going on inside of that building. You could tell, for obvious reasons, that he struggled with it. But I am pulling for him because I do know he’s a good kid. I know he’s got a good heart. I know he can be a good football player.” (SLIDESHOW: This Gorgeous Olympian Loves To Show Off Lots Of Skin)

Any chance of a comeback for Manziel will likely have to happen soon because the NFL season is right around the corner.
