## Resource

Joel Bitonio, the Cleveland Browns’ longtime offensive guard, announced his retirement with a nostalgic nod to his wild ride — and a cheeky jab at his former roommate, Johnny Manziel. Drafted the same year, they roomed together, and Bitonio joked he learned some valuable lessons — the hard way — from his flashy, short-lived teammate. While Manziel’s NFL career lasted just two seasons before he was cut by Cleveland and later tried his luck in the CFL, Bitonio built a 12-year legacy with the Browns, earning All-Pro honors twice and making the Pro Bowl seven times. He stayed loyal to Cleveland through thick and thin, saying he couldn’t imagine playing anywhere else — a sharp contrast to Manziel’s turbulent path, now laid bare in his Netflix documentary “Johnny Football.” Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
