CLEVELAND \u2014<\/strong> Johnny Manziel\u2019s latest video appearance has the Browns concerned.<\/p>\n

The second-year quarterback is expected to have a conversation with Cleveland coach Mike Pettine after another video surfaced over the weekend on social media of him partying. In the short clip, Manziel, wearing a \u201cMerry Manziel\u201d shirt, is seen singing along as \u201cMarch Madness\u201d by Future plays in the background. A framed jersey of Tampa Bay\u2019s Mike Evans, one of Manziel\u2019s Texas A&M teammates, hangs on the wall behind him.<\/p>\n

Last month, Manziel was demoted from starter to third-string by Pettine after he denied that a video of him partying in Austin, Texas, was taken during Cleveland\u2019s bye week. Manziel had promised Pettine and other coaches he wouldn\u2019t be a distraction while the team was off.<\/p>\n

On Monday, Pettine said he had not yet seen the new video of Manziel.<\/p>\n

\u201cAny time there\u2019s something with our players that casts them potentially in a bad light, whether it\u2019s Johnny or any of our other guys, it\u2019s certainly a concern,\u201d Pettine said on a conference call. \u201cI\u2019m sure I\u2019ll see it and have a discussion with him about it. These circumstances are different from the incident that occurred before. I\u2019m just not going to go into a ton of detail with it until I get a little bit more information about it, but it\u2019s something that I\u2019m sure privately we\u2019ll discuss if it needs to be discussed.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pettine had promised there would be \u201charsh\u201d repercussions if Manziel had another embarrassing issue. The Browns have been supportive of the 2012 Heisman Trophy winner, who has shown major progress in his second NFL season following a rough rookie year which was followed by a 73-day stay in a rehab facility for an unspecified condition.<\/p>\n

When he benched Manziel previously, Pettine said he was doing so because the 23-year-old had violated the team\u2019s trust.<\/p>\n

Manziel was shot holding a champagne bottle in the video last month, and in the new one he appears to be holding an alcoholic beverage. Pettine was asked if he was troubled that Manziel would be so public with his drinking considering his past issues.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt falls back into not micromanaging personal lives, and it\u2019s very public unfortunately,\u201d said Pettine. \u201cThe thing that\u2019s disappointing is how public it becomes and it\u2019s something with all of our players we\u2019re going to sit down with them before they get out of here and talk about where they are personally, where they are professionally, and certainly Johnny will be no exception.\u201d<\/p>\n

Manziel rushed for 108 yards \u2014 the most by a quarterback in team history \u2014 in Sunday\u2019s 17-13 loss at Kansas City. It was his third straight start and the Browns are hoping to get another look at the 23-year-old on Sunday in the season finale against Pittsburgh.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
