Johnny Manziel, Once Top NFL Prospect Turned Party Boy

Former QB is expected to be indicted on a misdemeanor assault charge, the Cleveland Browns and his agent dropped him, but is he a victim of celebrity culture or battling addiction?

Playing for the Browns will turn anyone into an alcoholic....

[@mr.giraffe7076]

I'm still a fan. I think he is raw talent and a great player. Cleveland is a place where careers go to die. People act like what team you sign with doesnt matter, but it does and it ruined johnnys career.

who is right on her correct

He's still the only QB to win for the browns in the last year.

Revised title: Party boy turned NFL QB

[@Shakester71]

Johnny Manziel is interested in being famous regardless of whether he's playing football or not. Football got him noticed and his antics got him famous. He's exactly where he wants to be with the media's help. He comes from a very wealthy family with a net worth of $50 million, so he doesn't care that he lost out on $2 million from his NFL contract. He's famous and he's still rich which he thinks gives him a license to act a fool. He's not a football player, lets get that straight. He's nothing more than a socialite like Paris Hilton or the Kardashians.

[@yung.trustfund6781]

just let the man play football again, go ahead and give him and tebow another shot, fuck it see what they can do

[@jonyjoe8464]

tebow is too much of a good boy, he be a distraction on any team.

[@death4827]

Johnny Manziel is a spoiled kid. Yeah he won the heisman, he had potential to be a superstar qb in the NFL. But money and him coming from a wealthy background got in his head. And now he ain't got no career

[@MegaTkls]

thanks for summarizing the video

[@death4827]

MegaTkls wasn't really summarizing lol. I'm just saying there's some people that try to defend him but they don't recognize the truth and how it really is about him

[@edwardgaines6561]

Exactly. Manziel had piss-poor character, no doubt enabled by his wimpy parents. All the money in the world can't push a kid to be better.

[@jjmah7]

lol isn’t that exactly what the video is about?

[@mr.giraffe7076]

You act as if you know him personally.

[@trevionsewell8955]

I'm a big Manziel fan he was the most exciting college quarterback I ever seen I thought he would be a superstar in the nfl I've been incredibly wrong about that but I hope he gets another chance in the nfl as a starter but my gut tells me Johnny Manziel is officially a "has been" a "what if" a "could've been" a "do you remember"

[@jstnmusic]

trevion sewell he won't get a starting spot ever again off the bat, I feel it's gonna be backup steps up situation where he does good after first string got hurt

[@elvez1231]

This guy - like so many - went to rehab, got out and went straight back to the things he was doing that got him into rehab. What people don't seem to get - the easiest place on the planet to get clean & sober is a treatment center. When we leave and face the world - that's when the After-care programs, all treatment centers provide, come into play. We have to embrace the fact - clean & sober is a huge lifestyle change and 4-5 weeks in treatment is NOT the cure. It IS a great head-start to acquiring tools necessary to move forward. If Manziel is the garden-variety alcoholic/addict he seems to be - I'd love to see this guy play football without that monkey on his back. I think he's a world-class douche-bag - but I'd still like to see him at his best. Could be a lot of fun.

[@josephdale3996]

On his best day as a clean and sober qb ...this wingnut couldn't carry Baker's jock strap !

[@Cleveland-fp8kh]

Lol frat boy

[@MrDodger3222]

And the Browns are the laughingstock of sports now!!!

[@ChrisWolff2013]

What the fuck did they expect? They way overhyped him, they made him seem like he was a God, they handed him millions of dollars on a silver platter, they sold him as the next icon of the NFL, and because of this not only did he not even get 10 TDs in his career but he could barely finish two seasons. The fame went immediately to his head, and he became egotistical, and now no one wants to sign him.

[@thamonster100]

Manziel was not overhyped not as many people as you think were high on Johnny But he was very good. You are right about the ego. His career isn't over i dont think you understand how hard it is to play at that level.I know him he is a good kid.He just has to look himself in the mirror first even he doesnt play another snap of football i dont give a shit him just being alive and well is way more important than football.

[@bigdawg1586]

What a shame, some people work their ass off to get where he was at. But this dude just let his shit go.

[@disninjaho3254]

If this dude grow tf up, he'll be raw af in the league

[@everettfanor1989]

Doubt it. Hes 6 foot and lacks dicipline

[@timdemeo]

If I was drafted to the browns my life would get fucked up too

[@CrimsonUniverse22]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure we can credit this to the parents to some degree. Johnny comes from a crazy wealthy family, with roots in the oil business. It was so obvious he was spoiled as a child, and given his insane talent on the field, he was likely given special treatment in school too. His parent's most likely didn't instill in him any sense of valuable work ethic and high moral standards, and that getting by on your talent is good enough. Good job mom and dad......good job.

[@zcorpalpha2462]

I disagree, he will be ok

[@rbird4272]

Plain and simple... He's alcoholic.

He wasn’t ready

[@evanjin4872]

John will not get the help he needs, plus the motivation to follow through, until he hits rock bottom, aka sick and tired of being sick and tired. 12 step programs are not for those who NEED it, but for those who WANT it. How do I know? 27 plus years of clean and sober. The praise does not go to me, but to my Higher Power (HP). His Dad is right to give him tough love.

The only reason Johnny Manziel went to the Browns cause he was hoping they'd have another Bottlegate game so he could get all the free beer thrown onto the field.

[@zeekeeren8423]

4:39 is that gronk?!

[@Kobeee24BRyant]

I din't see how people say this kid had all the potential in the world. Manziel is a distraction in the locker room, he's not a hard worker, prefers partying over training. His pocket awareness is average at best, his arm is okay and his accuracy is on his off. Not to mention his wild playing style that will get an undersized QB injured in no time. Manziel is only good when the pocket breaks down and he makes some crazy throws when scrambling. But other of that, I don't see him having success in the NFL

[@Hidingfrompeople]

I knew he wouldn't make it long ago.

[@claymac7895]

He defends himself by saying you’ve seen me here 5-6 nights in a row.. He’s clearly drunk in the video and anyone sober knows going to night clubs suck unless you are intoxicated.

[@Phoenix-lq5ie]

The problem is this guy doesn't know shit about the struggles of stressing over bill's or having to take care of someone. His family is wealthy so it's not like he's going to be working at a gas station.

I never believed that Johnny Manziel would have success in the NFL. He didn't strike me as someone who could immediately handle the pressure of being a professional quarterback! As exciting as he was in college, I only projected him worthy of a top 100 pick who would be given every opportunity to grow and prove himself but was he worthy of a 1st round contract? Absolutely not, but when the Browns drafted him, I thought "Of course" and couldn't have rolled my eyes any harder.

Fun fact, he will be signing autographs for cash down the street from the Super Bowl. Canadian football calls, that's this jag offs last chance if he goes there and behaves and performs for a few years at a high level the NFL will come a calling. John it's your only chance.

[@ade3306]

I think if the signing autographs in college for money he would be a starter for the Browns rn or probably a better team that's the reason why he really got drafted so late..after that I think his head got fucked up going from heisman to late first round I hope for the best for money manziel tho
