Reflective Manziel opens up on TV

Johnny Manziel wants a second chance at an NFL career.

And he believes he’s discovered one of the major obstacles previously standing in his way.

On Monday, in a taped interview with “Good Morning America,” the Heisman Trophy winning quarterback said that he had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Manziel revealed that he was diagnosed about a year ago and he is taking medication for the condition.

He also said that he used alcohol as a form of self-medication to combat depression, and that he has since quit drinking.

Manziel won the 2012 Heisman Trophy at Texas A&M, becoming the first freshman to take home the award. He was eventually drafted in the first round of the 2014 NFL draft by the Cleveland Browns.

But after numerous offthe-field incidents, including a domestic violence charge by his ex-girlfriend, he managed to stay in the league for just two seasons.

Colts: As former coach Chuck Pagano and general manager Chris Ballard attended Edwin Jackson’s funeral in Atlanta on Monday, team owner Jim Irsay announced he was donating $25,000 to establish the Edwin Jackson Memorial Scholarship in memory of the former linebacker.

Jackson, 26, and his Uber driver, Jeffrey Monroe, were both killed in a traffic accident Feb. 4. Last week, Irsay offered to pay for the funerals of both men.

49ers: Santa Clara County (Calif.) Jail officials said linebacker Reuben Foster was arrested Sunday on suspicion of domestic violence and possessing an assault rifle. Jail records show Foster was booked released on $75,000 bail Sunday night.
