Even John McCain has something to say about Johnny Manziel.

During a segment with talk show host Mike Broomhead, the Arizona senator added his two cents on the Browns' rookie quarterback and his gesture to the Redskins' bench during Monday night's preseason game.

"I just think he's gotta grow up," McCain told Broomhead. "When I was a young navy pilot, I'm glad I was not on national television; that's all that I can tell you."

McCain later called Manziel a "great competitor" and spoke about the debate surrounding the Washington Redskins name.

McCain's comments on Manziel begin at the 16:50 mark.
