Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel has more than teammates looking out for him.

He has a new roommate.

Via Pat McManamon of ESPN.com, Browns cornerback Joe Haden said that one of Manziel’s former coaches from Kerrville, Texas was living with him.

An official at his old high school said it was Julius Scott, who Manziel has hailed as an influence in the past. Manuel told the Houston Chronicle that Scott “had the single biggest impact on my development as a player.”

Manziel hasn’t talked to reporters since leaving rehab, but Haden’s done plenty of talking for him.

Having Scott around is an extension of other moves Manziel has made, including having LeBron James advisor Maverick Carter by his side, as he works to stay on the right path.
