Johnny Manziel Says He's Not Frustrated With Playing Time

Johnny Manziel is not upset with current role on the Cleveland Browns.

Johnny Manziel has been a complete non-factor to this point of his first NFL season. Brian Hoyer has remained the Cleveland Browns starting quarterback throughout the year and Manziel has attempted just one pass.

However, the former Texas A&M standout, is not “frustrated” by his lack of playing time, despite Browns coach Mike Pettine saying so.

From Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com:

"“I don’t necessarily think that’s the right word,” said Manziel. “Obviously coming from the situation I’ve been in the past couple years of every rep, every snap, every down of every game, coming into the situation that I’m in now is going to be a lot different for me. So I’m sure there are signs of this being a different situation for me, but I don’t feel frustrated. Obviously, being a competitor I want to play, but there is a difference.”"

It certainly would be understandable if Manziel were frustrated. The Browns didn’t draft Manziel to sit on the bench and many football fans assumed the Heisman trophy winner would have leapfrogged Hoyer by this point of the year.

Still, Manziel appears to be taking everything in stride.

"“I feel like I’m in the role that I need to be at this time,” he said. “And, for me, obviously, I wasn’t where I needed to be throughout the earlier stages of being here, and now is my time to play catchup and make sure I’m on top of my things, continuing to get better and what’s up to my level and also the coaches’ level of where I need to perform.”"

The Browns selected Manziel in the first round of the 2014 NFL Draft.
