Johnny Manziel could take a tip from ex-teammate Josh Gordon

How’s Johnny?

Where’s Johnny?

Is Johnny getting the help he needs?

Johnny Manziel and those questions came to mind Thursday after hearing this: Josh Gordon, the Cleveland Browns receiver, is entering rehab.

Not only were Gordon and Manziel teammates with the Browns before the team cut Manziel in March, but they remained friends — despite obvious concerns.

Gordon was suspended for the 2015 season and for the first four games this season after multiple violations of the NFL’s policy on substance abuse. Manziel, meanwhile, spent about 10 weeks in an undisclosed treatment center before the 2015 season. In April, both players reportedly were at a Los Angeles home that Manziel was renting when partying resulted in $32,000 in damages.

In July, Gordon tried to distance himself from the troubled quarterback.

"We're definitely two different people headed down two different paths," Gordon told cleveland.com, “and we'll all reach our outcome at a different point in time."

Sadly, they’ve been on a very similar path — but perhaps their friendship can help them both stay on a path to recovery.

Manziel has said he plans to sit out this season to get his life in order. He has yet to detail how he’s doing that. He did enroll in classes at Texas A&M, where he won the Heisman Trophy in 2012, but he recently was spotted outside a nightclub in Los Angeles. It was uncertain where Manziel was Thursday when Josh Gordon announced he was entering an in-patient rehabilitation facility and issued a statement.

"This is the right decision for me," Gordon said, “and one that I hope will enable me to gain full control of my life and continue on a path to reach my full potential as a person."

Here’s hoping Manziel heard Gordon’s words — and took note of Gordon's actions.
