The list of people supporting Johnny Manziel seems to grow by the day.
Vikings running back Adrian Peterson said the Texas A&M should be able to make money. Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers wished Manziel could just be a normal 20-year-old.
The school’s chancellor even defended Manziel and said “he’s a good kid.”
The school’s athletic director, Eric Hyman, also sent an email to 12th Man Foundation members saying the school is doing all it can to help Manziel.
Here’s the text from mysanantonio.com:
“Everyone wants to know the status of our quarterback, Johnny Manziel. As we have stated previously, our practice is to not discuss such matters publicly. Our foremost priority, regardless of the circumstances, is to protect and support our student-athletes while also upholding the integrity of the University and complying with NCAA rules and regulations.
“There simply is no blueprint for handling what Johnny and his family have gone through since December. What we have done is surround Johnny with a support network of dedicated staff from the areas of administration, academics, scheduling, compliance, media relations, and even security to assist him during these unprecedented times. Texas A&M also has retained the services of one of the most respected legal firms in the country, Lightfoot, Franklin & White, to assist us.
“Any decisions we make regarding this situation will be based on an analysis of available facts. Be assured that we would like to reach a resolution as quickly as possible, but at this stage, we are not in a position to speculate on a specific timeline.”
