Johnny Manziel apparently watched NFL draft before Bieber concert

Look, believe what you will about Johnny Manziel, the ex-NFL quarterback whose life is now in shambles by his own hand ... it's hard not to feel a twinge of sympathy, or at least wonder what could have been, when you see a photo like this:

That's apparently Manziel at a Columbus, Ohio, bar, watching the NFL draft prior to a Justin Bieber concert. Two years ago, Manziel was a first-round pick at the draft; now, he's out of the league, facing a variety of legal challenges, and apparently unable to halt the slide that has claimed his football career.

Granted, that photo looks more like Shia Labeouf than Manziel, but here's another photo from later in the evening. Note the hoodie and bandanna:

Manziel was indicted earlier in the week in Texas on domestic violence charges. He's been cut loose by a range of professional associates, including his team, sponsors and agents because of his failure to consent to any sort of treatment programs or curb his partying.
