What do you think Manziel will say to Winston?
Johnny Manziel, former Heisman Trophy winner from Texas A&M, now of the Cleveland Browns, was asked if he chats with Florida State's Jameis Winston, a player he considers a friend. Manziel said that he plans to speak with Winston about the media attention and pressure that comes from winning the trophy and being the most famous player in college football.
Winston, who has never been arrested for any crime, was suspended for the Clemson game after yelling a vulgar internet joke in a public place.
Manziel intends to reach out to FSU QB Jameis Winston to check in and offer support. "He's a guy I want to help in as many ways as I can."

Here's Manziel to Cleveland.com:
"I haven't talked to him probably since the ESPYs when I saw him in L.A., but that's probably a good idea,'' he said. "I'll reach out to him and say a little something to him. More than anything it's the middle of the season now and I don't think he wants anybody that's not on his squad interfering. But Jameis is a guy that I've had a good relationship with and want to help in as many ways as I can, or if anything I can say or I've been through can help him than I would love to do that."But I think for him right now just try and let as much time pass by and let some of these things blow over and worry about the position they are in right now and being the best team in the country and worry about football and the ACC. And really I think everything else will be OK. He's continuing to grow up. He's a young guy, too, but I really I think he'll figure it out as he continues to go on.''
What do you think of Manziel doing this?
