The NFL has seen many players rise to fame and fall, and Johnny Manziel is one of them. The quarterback began his career in the NFL in 2014 when the Cleveland Browns drafted him. After just 2 years he gained the limelight when he decided to leave the team. Another time he made headlines was when he was with his ex-girlfriend Breana Tiesi.
Johnny Manziel and Tiesi reportedly started dating back in 2016. Breana Tiesi is a popular model and influencer, but she grabbed everyone’s attention when she was with the quarterback. The former couple soon took their relationship to the next level and got engaged in March 2017.
The Browns star and Tiesi achieved yet another milestone by tying the knot one year later in 2018. “She’s good for him and balances him, and he’s crazy about her,” a source stated. Though things turned sour between the duo after one year of marriage. Reports suggested that “they really hit a rough patch”.

What was the reason behind Johnny Manziel quitting the NFL?
Johnny Manziel was among the brightest stars in the football world in his early days. He impressed everyone with his skills and won the Heisman Trophy in 2012. He threw for 3706 yards, with 9 interceptions and 26 touchdowns that year. With his talent, he won the Davey O’Brien Award and Manning Award as well the same season.
After 2 years, the Cleveland Browns selected him as the 22nd pick overall. While selecting him, the team surely had big expectations from the star player, but he disappointed everyone. Johnny Manziel failed to show the same charisma in the NFL that he showed during his college career. After spending 2 years with the Browns, Manziel decided to quit his NFL career.
“If I got an offer to go back to the NFL… or any other league that plays serious, competitive football, I have zero interest, zero desire,” he said in an interview.
Johnny Manziel made it clear that he’d not join any team as he has no interest in the league anymore. He revealed that he didn’t have the same love for the game, and was happy after leaving it. It seems that the main reason why the quarterback decided to quit his NFL career was his loss of interest.
