After former Cleveland Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel recently said that the quarterback room was “not a home” during his rookie season because of veteran Brian Hoyer, the 38-year-old Las Vegas Raiders quarterback responded to Manziel’s claim of friction.
Manziel told Pro Football Hall of Famer Shannon Sharpe on the Club Shay Shay podcast earlier this week that Hoyer wasn’t exactly helpful during their time competing for the starting quarterback job with the Browns in 2014.
“My quarterback room was not a home for me because of Brian Hoyer,” Manziel told Sharpe. “Brian Hoyer had been waiting on an opportunity to go really provide for his family, get an opportunity and he saw how much of an upper hand he had on me, and he didn’t hold back when it came to that.”
