Former Browns QB Johnny Manziel sends out a defiant message

Johnny Manziel sent out a tweet just before the start of the second round of the NFL draft on Friday night.

And in a way, it rang true.

You guys act like what I'm doing is something new. I've been the same person, doing the same things since it all started. 3:54 PM - 29 Apr 2016

Honestly, it's hard to argue. Manziel is still the same person he was long before Cleveland drafted him.

He was constantly seen out having a good time in college, while putting together an all-time great college career at Texas A&M, and he still is. The problem now is that he's unemployed, having been cut by the Browns two years after they drafted him in the first round, with practically no hope at the moment of reviving his NFL career. Manziel has said he still wants to play, though nothing this offseason really indicates he's willing to make any changes to facilitate that.

He has rarely tweeted this year, but sent out a follow-up message to the one he sent right before the NFL draft restarted Friday (he also congratulated Texas A&M offensive lineman Germain Ifedi, who was picked in the first round Thursday).

Made plenty of mistakes along the way, and have a lot I'd do differently. To all my family and real friends who have stuck by me...THANK YOU 4:00 PM - 29 Apr 2016

One of the mistakes could be a domestic violence assault case that he has been indicted for. Even that didn't really change his habits though. There were photos of him watching the NFL draft in a Columbus bar on Thursday night before a Justin Bieber concert. On Twitter, Manziel challenged the manhood of a Cleveland radio/TV personality who he thought was at the bar tweeting out the photos. TMZ published a video of what it said was Manziel ordering 300 shots of Fireball whiskey for everyone at the bar.

It's a little surreal that all this is happening with Manziel this week while the NFL draft is going on. Two years ago Manziel was the most interesting figure in the NFL draft. Now he's nowhere near an NFL career.

But if you're waiting for Manziel to change, it doesn't seem that's imminent.
