Former Cleveland Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel has apparently taken his drug abuse to another level and some friends are reportedly afraid that “he will die” if things don’t change soon.

“He’s in a horrible downward spiral,” an unidentified person described as “very close to the QB” told TMZ.

The website is reporting that Manziel’s drug use has gotten so bad that he’s being “reckless with his drug problem recently — even blowing lines (of cocaine) in front of people he barely knows.”

Manziel’s friends are so concerned about him that they staged an intervention, but “he flipped out and would not hear it.”

Reports have indicated that the NFL has launched an investigation into a number of incidents involving Manziel. He’s currently on bond after he was charged in a domestic violence incident involving his ex-girlfriend and he allegedly got kicked out of a nightclub last weekend after punching another man.

It definitely sounds as if death or prison could be just around the corner for the former Texas A&M standout if he can’t get his life together.
