Johnny Manziel: '2014 disaster was my fault'

Cleveland Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel claims that he built himself up too much ahead of his debut NFL season last year.

Cleveland Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel has admitted that his rookie season was "a disaster".

The 22-year-old arrived with a big reputation after he threw 67 touchdowns in two college seasons, but he struggled both on and off the pitch in 2014.

Manziel started just twice and failed to throw a touchdown, while he admitted himself into rehab at the end of the campaign to deal with "personal problems."

Speaking at a press conference, he said: "Last year was, in my mind, for me personally, a disaster. I didn't come out and perform, and that's what it comes down to. I think it's even my fault. The way that I've built myself up, I set myself up for a little bit of failure in that regard."

Manziel was the 22nd pick in the first round of the 2014 NFL Draft.
