Manziel will be cut by the Browns next month and is under investigation for an alleged assault against his ex-girlfriend

He then added that the two did not have much

Johnny Manziel will be missed by at least one of his Cleveland Browns teammates with left tackle Joe Thomas saying he became a fan of the quarterback over the course of the season.

'It's a sad end to the story in Cleveland for Johnny,' said Thomas in an interview with Celeveland.com.

'He's a guy that personally I like. I believe he has a lot of talent. He's got the talent to be an NFL quarterback, but it obviously hasn't worked out so far.'

He also said he hopes Manziel will 'get his life on track and be able to use those talents at some point here in his career.'

Thomas also took some time to talk about rumors that have been swirling for over a month now that Manziel allegedly showed up to practice drunk on December 30, which was first reported by NFL Network's Michael Silver.

'All I know is he complained of concussion symptoms, and then he was gone,' said Thomas.

He then added; 'I didn't really see him. I mean the first thing in the morning you have a meeting and you go to lift weights. There's not a lot of interaction until you go out to the walk through with your other teammates.

'It's kind of like study hall when you're just kind of to yourself when watching film. But, yeah, I guess I didn't really even see him much that day.'

Those allegations are just part of Manziel's troubles, especially after the Dallas Police Department revealed they were launching a criminal investigation into a domestic assault complaint filed by his ex-girlfriend Colleen Crowley.

Crowley told authorities that Manziel 'restrained' her while they were in a hotel room on January 30 in Dallas and led her to his car, according to ABC 8.

Crowley said he then drove her to her car, at which point she attempted to hide from her ex, who she broke up with last December after dating for two years.

'He grabbed me by my hair and threw me back into the car and got back in himself,' Crowley reportedly told police.

'He hit me with his open hand on my left ear for jumping out of the car. I realized immediately that I could not hear out of that ear, and I still cannot today, two days later.'

Manziel then drove her back to her apartment, where after more arguing Crowley claims she eventually pulled out a knife and scared him off, calling police soon after.

Manziel is denying all of these claims, while Crowley received a two-year order of protection against her ex.

After these allegations became public Manziel was dropped by his agent and his own father said he feared for his son's safety.

'I truly believe if they can't get him help, he won't live to see his 24th birthday,' Paul Manziel told the Dallas Morning News, adding that his son had twice refused to enter rehab in the days after the alleged assault.

Just days before, the Cleveland Browns also dealt Manziel a harsh, but expected, blow when they revealed they would be dropping him from the team next month.

The 2012 Heisman Trophy winner has struggled since he was selected by the Browns in the first round of the 2014 draft, playing in just 14 games over the course of his professional career and becoming better known for his partying than his actual game play.

There had been some promise that this season would be better for the quarterback after he completed a lengthy stay in rehab in early 2015, but he was spotted partying on multiple occasions and was involved in another incident with Crowley back in October where she alleged he had slammed her head into a window.

The NFL is still looking into the claims Crowley made back then to see if he violated the league's personal-conduct policy.

They have also reached out however to offer him help as well, with Troy Vincent, the NFL's executive vice president of football operations, saying over the weekend; 'We wish to give Johnny as much support as he is willing to receive, we can't make anyone do anything.

'I've seen his father make a statement, reach out to the family to make sure the family knows the National Football League, the Cleveland Browns, the players association — everyone's here to support you, but you have to embrace it.'

His team is also trying to reach out to him, but having no luck according to Browns owner Jimmy Haslam, who said on Friday; 'Johnny has not responded to us, but we'll do anything we can to help him personally and our thoughts and prayers are with Johnny and his family.

'We're not worried about Johnny Manziel the football player, we're worried about Johnny Manziel the person, and I think that's all we need to say on the issue.'

Things began to deteriorate between Manziel and the Browns after a December incident in which he allegedly skipped the last game of the season to party in Las Vegas after being declared ineligible to play due to an injury.

Manziel was reportedly spotted trying to go incognito while gambling and drinking by wearing a blond wig.
