Johnny Manziel Harassed by Fan at 2015 Byron Nelson Classic

Cleveland Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel was harassed by an 18-year-old male fan at a pool at the Four Seasons Hotel in Irving, Texas, where he stayed while attending the PGA Tour's Byron Nelson Classic.  

Cleveland.com's Mary Kay Cabot reported the news Sunday and passed along the essential details on Twitter:

Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reported a friend of Manziel's told him the fan tried to grab the quarterback and said, "Good luck never starting in NFL."

"Ryan Tannehill is way better than you," the heckler continued according to another of Manziel's friends, who spoke to Brett Smiley of Fox Sports.

The heckling led to Manziel throwing the bottle, to which the fan replied: "Good throw, Johnny," per Smiley.

Fowler's source also told him the fan was not close and the bottle did not land near him but that the fan consistently tried to grab Manziel and heckle him.

Erik Burkhardt, Manziel's agent, told Cabot that he was in church with Manziel in Dallas on Sunday morning and indicated Manziel summoned hotel security personnel to handle the heckler.

Browns head coach Mike Pettine said "Under the right set of circumstances, anyone standing here could get to that," level of provocation, according to Aditi Kinkhabwala of NFL.com. "I have no thoughts, it's a non-story," Pettine continued, according to Kinkhabwala. 

Pettine also said he didn't see Manziel's issues being a distraction, according to Tom Withers of the Associated Press. 

After a rocky rookie season, Manziel spent time at a rehab facility for an unspecified issue. He was released from there on April 11, allowing him to participate fully in the Browns' offseason program. The 2012 Heisman Trophy winner had stayed out of trouble and largely out of headlines until this incident in Irving.

Browns safety Donte Whitner said Manziel has shown a strong commitment, per ClevelandBrowns.com's Kevin Jones:

But the team is learning a different offense under new play-caller John DeFilippo. Tuesday's practice that was open to the media suggests Manziel still has plenty of work to do, according to CBS Cleveland's Daryl Ruiter:

No legal issues will likely linger for Manziel on the heels of Sunday's report. It also has to be encouraging for Cleveland fans to know Manziel showed no signs of being under the influence of alcohol.

Although throwing a water bottle at a pestering fan may not have been the best course of action, Manziel ultimately appeared to do what was necessary to avoid any serious trouble.

The Browns likely won't exact any discipline on Manziel and will allow him to continue to try to work his way into the starting role. Fowler reported that some within the Browns organization view the incident as a "non-issue," with the belief that Manziel can't be held responsible for the actions of fans.

"I like Johnny but he has to ask why this type of trouble always seems to find him," an unnamed Browns player told Mike Freeman of Bleacher Report.

Newly arrived veteran Josh McCown is atop Cleveland's QB depth chart for the time being. It's on Manziel to continue doing the right things on and off the field if he's meant to live up to his first-round draft billing and become the Browns' long-awaited answer under center.
