Johnny Manziel's Downfall Being Blamed On Drake' Cousin OVO Ryan

Johnny Manziel seems set on partying his way out of the NFL.

And it looks like Drake's Cousin Ryan "OVO Ryan" Silverstein is helping to drive Johnny Football out of the league.

Literally.

Manziel was a passenger in Ryan's car last week when it hit a pole -- earning Johnny another article on TMZ, and Ryan a police investigation.

And it's far from the first time Silverstein has been by Manziel's side during the quarterback's much publicized debauchery.

NFL Network's Rich Eisen criticized the OVO Ryan-Manziel relationship earlier this week.

"Ryan Silverstein, instead of driving Johnny Manziel to Coachella, and driving Johnny Manziel to 1 Oak, or driving Johnny Manziel into a light pole on Sunset Boulevard, drive him to rehab,” Eisen pleaded. “You want to do this guy a favor? Even if he doesn’t want to go, you drive him. You want to do your boy a solid? Get him in a car and take him to a spot and don’t even tell him where you’re taking him and leave him there. And check him in."

In other words, why can't Ryan and Johnny have a mutually beneficial football-OVO relationship? Like housemates Drake and Odell Beckham Jr. do.
