Johnny manziel is that guy at the bar you went to high school with that lives off the glory days and blames everyone else but himself for everything that went wrong in his life
Lmfao this is moronic. Johnny Manziel was one of the figures I kinda looked up to when I started a business and left 9-5 job. He’s highly regarded in the Ecom community. He’s more free than any of those ppl in the nfl
Hope Johnny reconnects with Nate, seemed like a guy who had his genuine best interests at heart. Yeah he was a young man too and they partied but fuck if I was getting paid 30k to sign my name on some jerseys, how could you not. Good to see Johnny is doing good, would probably be a good analyst just to have a good personality like himself on tv I think he’d bring in viewers
Johnny Football was amazing in college. But he was 5 10 and 180 pounds. Was too small to be good in the NFL. I think he knew that so he self destructed.
While I agree he was too small, I don’t think he purposely self destructed. I believe he has mental issues he can’t help himself when it comes to being the center of a party. He showed red flags at Texas A&M and most teams were smart enough to not draft him but the Browns rarely draft smart.
@@yokaidigital3033 What are you talking about they don’t draft smart smart??? Couch, Quinn, etc… They even were so smart to trade away their 1st round pick 3 years prior and the only QB to take them to their first playoff win in years and made them relevant again, then traded for Watson. Lol, totally being sarcastic, and the 1 time they did draft smart, they screwed it up and gave it up for Watson knowing what he was in trouble for, lol.

You know when he becomes available there’s going to be a mad dash for him. He’s like second best defensive player in the league only behind Aaron Donald.
@@yokaidigital3033 True, I think it all depends on this year because In all honestly, they have the O line, a top 3 RB and Cooper and some promising young guys at WR. And a solid Defense but most importantly a QB that has shown the ability to be a top 5 QB and make everyone around him better, but something tells me that version of Watson is gone, but you never know. But I feel like Cleveland’s been in this position before and blown it away. If they don’t do good this year, they have the option to opt out of Garrett’s contract which has a cap hit of like 30 million or so in 2024. So I feel like this is the year that will determine if he stays in Cleveland for the majority of the rest of his career or they let go and start rebuilding, which I feel like the browns have been in rebuild mode since 1999, lol. He’s the best pure 4-3 DE in the game, I would love to see him team up with another great.
I watched it today, about 2 hrs ago, this guy was so talented sad that he had no self control. I am older than you Matt (quite a bit older) and I remember the Johnny Football days very well. He could've really been something, I know he WAS SOMETHING, but I mean great, amazing, long career something. But his immaturity I guess, no self-discipline. I'm not really sure what demons he was (may be still) dealing with. Whatever it was, it was stronger than he was and he could not help but cave into it. I truly hope he is doing better these days. ROLL TIDE!!
Who cares its his life. He made it 2 where not a lot do just worry abt urself this mf Matt is a lewser mf so don't allow his take to influence ur thought of what Johnny should've done
I remember Johnny showed up for the draft and kept getting passed by.....eesh. He was the forerunner for college athletes being able to profit off of their own image, so in that respect, maybe he should be in the College Hall of Fame.
Me and my brother watched last nIght, and my brother literally said he got to the NFL as a hobby. He was special, even for blind talent, he did some miraculous things. Just didn’t work for too long
aha thats funny what you said he was special? Please... he was a loser. He was a horrible quarterback. Woopee he won a Heisman in a college league where 95% are average athletes at best.
MattBeGreat I went back and watched the game against Alabama and it was great. Even though it was from a long time ago I got goosebumps just watching it 😂😂😂🏈🏈🏈
Not rumors lol. My family grew up with his, his grandpa who he calls a “G” is an actually real Texas mobster lol. The entire manziel family has been rich for generations. And Johnny’s mom actually comes from money also. He grew up at a country club living in a mansion.
@@Imrightyourwrong I literally know them lol. They are rich af. Johnny grew up at a country club his entire life lol. Believe what you want, I don’t care honestly. I seen their wealth with my own eyes
The neighbors came over to check on my mom during that Alabama game because she was screaming so loud. She called me in tears and just said “come home and look at the tv”
Back in the day, it seemed like regardless of the play called, he just ran around til somebody was open. Like, i knew he had arm talent because whenever he did plant his feet and throw, it was beautiful, but I figured a lot of it was luck, and he had to play like that because he was shorter and A&M couldn’t keep him out the dirt if he didn’t. That being said, I just knew it would crumble when they went to Bama. Specifically, after that exact play described in the video. Then as after they did it, I just knew he was “The chosen one.” I still only halfway believe it was real.
Imagine the kind of beast he could’ve become, while in college he studied almost no film, barely ever showed up to practice and played half of his games hungover. The fact that he made it as far as he did is crazy enough.
That Stella Artois he was playing with in the Netflix show is a baaaad sign. Poor dude doesn't have any idea that his life's still in that bottle? I expect to be hearing about him much sooner than later...
I watched that game, just amazing play by Johnny. He made play after play against a great Bama defense. Games like that is what College/SEC football so exciting.
Just watched Netflix doc and had to comment, omg can't take the oh everyone feel sorry for me BS, he had a ton of opportunities. Alot of people only get 1 maybe 2 if lucky. Seems like he is just playing a victim mentality.
Watched the Documentary and honestly.......seemed like nothing changed. Still smoking weed, still drinking, still w/ shady influences and still living a Frat boy life. He has a home in Arizona, probably got it from his parents helping him out, and w/ a Network like Texas A&M backing him, likely has some cushy, do nothing job that pays handsomely. I want to say he's a good redemption story, but is he even redeemed?! It seems like nothing has changed. Only exception is he looked like he scaled down on the self destructive lifestyle from his last year in College until he was cut from the Browns. And looks like he was bailed out of life due to his connections. Plus on top of that he cut ties w/ the 1 guy who actually cared about him as a human being in his makeshift Manager when he was in College. Documentary was very entertaining, but it still looks like a tale of a frat boy still stuck in memories of yesterday who refuses to grow up
I had no idea who Johnny Manziel was until I watched the Untold episode (I’m Australian) college players aren’t popular in Aus, NFL players barely become household names in Aus, obviously we know who Brady, Mahomes, Rodger’s and now the Kelce brothers but it’s extremely rare that an NFL player becomes well known here. I’m a fan of a the series that’s the only reason why I watched it. But holy damn did I love it, it’s my favourite episode. I absolutely love Johnny Football. His mentality was exactly like mine at that age except he had a lot more money. The football highlights were the biggest gee up. It’s hard for Australians to identify skill in NFL as we don’t play it, we have several of our own football disciplines. From watching him play you can see he oozed natural skill and talent. I really wish he made it in the NFL. My opinion doesn’t carry much weight and I don’t entirely understand NFL but I think Johnny Football has more talent and could have potentially been better than Mahomes. Clearly Mahomes is far more disciplined than Manziel and he is a better player than Manziel but damn Johnny Football was heaps flashier and his ability is astonishing. Long live Johnny Manziel.
Bro said no wifi where did you live? We literally talked about that all day I remember my English teacher who was a huge Aggie fan made a bet with my friend who was a huge Alabama fan that he had to shave his head or no hw for the rest year. Buddy had to shave his head . 😂 bro I remember watching that game and from that day I wore #2 and I played qb and I made his money sign my celebration 😂I my Lord he was so Iconic
Most people didn't have wifi in 2012? 😅 This guy definitely grew up poor in the boonies and lacks the awareness to know that his experience wasn't the norm. Just getting wifi in 2012, especially in the US, is wildly abnormal. In 2009, 76% of US adults had wifi access. It's even higher in 2012, at 83%. This guy was living under a rock and thinks everyone else was, as well. I'm sure well over half of US households had wifi in the early 2000s. The data just doesn't go back far enough for me to confirm that 100%, but common sense says that's the case. I know my family certainly had wifi in the mid to late 90s and we weren't even particulary well off. The lack of awareness from this guy is actually mesmerizing to say that most people didn't have wifi in 2012 lol
Johnny already was going to have an uphill battle as a short qb so he couldn’t afford to have anything less than a professional image off the field but he enjoys the party life way too much and he didn’t have enough talent to suppress the negative publicity his off the field antics get.
While the doc was cool to watch, I felt that your video on Johnny over a year ago was more comprehensive. That said, I'm with you on the craziest parts of the doc are not really talked about as much. I will say that the doc kinda started somewhat with a tone of a story of redemption for Johnny, only for that to not be consistent in the end, leaving me wondering if I was supposed to feel bad for Johnny or not. Even before watching this doc, I already had mixed feelings about Johnny anways. He was definitely entertaining and polarizing then, but not really someone to be a buddy with in the long run imo I also really wanted the doc to go deeper into his troubled years, which didn't even happen as much as I liked, hence I prefer your video the most in that regard. The ending of the doc left me wanting for more in a lackluster sense. I would have liked a two or three parter doc instead. I'd give it a 6/10
I hated haslams for this pathetic excuse of a quarter back. I remember draft night an seeing my fellow fans go crazy for what nobody else wanted. He was exactly what I thought he'd be. Rich party boy who lucked out in lower football gameplay. His idiocy worked in college never would work in the NFL.
As the saying goes... Hard times create strong men, strong men create easy times, easy times create weak men, weak men create hard times. This is exactly why being born in the struggle is actually a blessing for boys that grow into men. It gives you motivation to change your circumstances which builds character because it's a hard thing to do. Johnny Manziel didn't care about making millions of dollars because he comes from a wealthy family and has never experienced poverty. Nothing would change about his life except a little more expensive car. He was already famous and had girls throwing themselves at him because he was the most popular guy on campus. Going from the Heisman winner on a college campus to a QB for the Browns is actually a downgrade when the money means nothing to the player. That's exactly why he was willing to risk going from 1st overall pick to the 4th round by doing drugs a week before the combine.
Why would anyone appreciate that? Nobody here personally knows him. He's just a guy who blew an amazing opportunity. What a weird comment on your part.
Biggest fluke? A 22nd overall draft pick? Lol. No one expected him to be good in the NFL. Not even he did. Not even his agent did. All they wanted was to get drafted and get a contract
@@cheeseballs9579 my respect for him went up so much after watching that… I’m only 14 so didn’t really get to remember him at his a&m days but he was just a college kid w some mental issues that wanted to live a fun life, party, drink, etc… Obviously that shit got to him, almost ended his life but man my view on him now is so much different
@@parkerknoche2709 same gang I’m 16 about to be 17 and I wasn’t old enough to remember but I heard of this guy but just thought he was some bust who threw his life away WRONG he was someone with a lot of pressure and hate as an young minded kid and it’s great to watch this seriously
You're super young. People were talking mad shit on the boards. Watching that live was surreal Alabama and it was TAMUs first run in the SEC. They may could beat that 2000 Miami team.
Seems like his biggest down fall was being too talented. If he was just regular talent, he would have stayed in college, had fun, play a little football, and graduate. Have a completly normal career and life. But he was too good by accident. And he paid the price for that. More access more mistakes more down falls.
I liked the Doc. Its not like i feel bad for his actions. But i just wish he loved the game kuz i like watching him in A&M and being that LeBron was in Cleveland at that time i just wanted the Bronws to finally win something seemed like the perfect timing.
I was not surprised what Johnny Manziel did to Alabama that day. I had Texas A&M winning that game anyway because Alabama is probably the most overrated football program in college football for almost 2 decades now and I wanted Texas A&M to win that game so everyone can shut the hell up about Alabama and Texas A&M did win that game. Even though I'm a die hard Oklahoma Sooners fan, I was really happy as an 8 year old at that time when Texas A&M beating the most overrated football program in college football which is Alabama
And yet Bama won the Natty that year he beat them while A&M was once again playing in a meaningless bowl game 😂😂😂. How is a team overrated for two decades?? Makes no sense whatsoever
The point of the documentary was to show he did everything he wanted in life that he dreamed of as a kid. Reached those goals way faster than planned and honestly don't think he wanted to leave college. Like college was his dream and he didn't want to leave but also didn't want people making money off of him. It's kinda wild if you think about it. Remember his favorite movie was Friday Night Lights. Maybe that's all he ever knew.
Enjoyed the documentary! Funny how people forget how kids, college kids, adults, politicians act and do illegal, crazy shit! It sounds to me that once he became a Pro (business) and just like any job there are boring details you must do to perform, and of course at this level you must go above and beyond just to stay afloat. He never had to work in college and how do you expect him to put in the time if he'd never done that before? He's only 30 and life is not over! So much more left to do and accomplish.
Matt, you acting like if a athlete goes out and parties and does alcohol/drugs he’s automatically thrown his career out the window. I definitely agree that it’s not a good choice and has the possibility of being detrimental to the athletes career but let’s not forget about all the athletes that still had great careers while making those bad decisions. I mean Lawerence Taylor was addicted to smoking crack and prostitutes in the prime of his career and is one of if not the best linebacker to ever play the game. I get where you’re coming from though.
Just look at the dudes face, and the Browns picked him first in the draft, enough said about the lack of football knowledge in the Browns organization. College trophies are meaningless in the NFL
@@dansweda712as a brown fan… yeah… trying to defend the browns organization is a losing battle and something you just accept is pathetic. Current Cleveland Browns organization have at least won a playoff game over the last few years which is a massive upgrade of where we were the last decade + but we ar without a doubt one of the most pathetic sports organizations in the workd
@@BeanieDoggerson that one playoff win against the Steelers was probably the finest moment of my life as a Brown's fan, and the following game against KC was a close second, even though they lost, but neither is much to hang your hat on, as a fan for 53yrs I'd like them to at least make an appearance in a Superbowl before I die
I went to school with Julian Edelman, Kent State. Ppl don't give Kent credit. Joshua Cribbs, James Harrison etc. Anyway Julian tried to get buff but his body type was like Ryan Reynolds tbh. He finally cut his training to 3 times per week and i think he recovered better. He was always trying to find a way to improve. I lost contact with him. I also worked out with Billy Price, OT Ohio State when he lived near Kent in Highschool. Billy price used dumbbells. I asked him why. He replied he couldn't get injured bc barbells run in a single plane. Also he weighed 260, but they had him in the 280s...it's all b.s lol. I guess Julian was more trying to improve, Billy was more about not taking the chances ( risks ). To be fair, everyone knew Billy would be a 1st round pic. Ppl forget Edelman played QB. I think Edelman's mind set of adjusting and improving served him well with the team that does just that. See how different mind sets change and shape things?
For those saying it’s dumb or ignorant for the Browns to have drafted Manziel in the first round I say nonsense. At that point I was very impressed with him in fact on draft day when the cowboys came up to draft all or most cowboys fans were on social media saying things like Jerry please come through and draft Manziel. I remember it well, clearly the cowboys picked well as they took offensive linemen Martin. I’m just saying many people thought Manziel was going to make it big in the NFL. You can literally say it’s a FACT that Manziel had a more spectacular college career than Tom Brady despite using only half the college eligibility that Brady used. So it’s no wonder many people thought he would be a good NFL player. Manziel is just a frat boy for life.
Dude Brady had a horrible college career!! So why are you bringing up that comparison? Manziel heisman Brady part time college starter!! Did you even watch or research their careers? Brady was drafted 6th round I think! Brady ended up an exception and overachieved!! Your comparison between the two in college is dumb af!! As far as the rest of your comment I agree! The Brady comparison makes no sense! Brady barely started at Michigan
Johnny Manziel is the man. It’s not his fault everyone else wanted him to be something he wasn’t. All he wanted to do was have fun in life. Also Matt, it’s hard to understand the mind of addict. You say, “how hard is it to stay out of trouble”. For someone healthy, it’s easy. But for someone like Johnny who was clearly empty on the inside and looking for things to fill him up, it’s a lot harder.
Johnny wasn't and still isn't THE MAN. Lol come on bro. He's a rich boy that had everything given to him. He is a man child however, and it still shows...at least with anyone with eyeballs. This pathetic feel bad for me documentary proves even more
@@kyos8462 you’re literally agreeing him. Johnny was given everything his whole life. He was definitely the man. Please tell me anyone else that was ever on johnnys level at the age of 20 lol. 20 years old, hanging out with biggest rappers and celebrities and then he wins the heisman trophy as a freshman lol. He was quite literally “the man” and there’s no arguing that lol
I think part of Manziel's problem with being ing the NFL, was he grew up in central Texas. It's too damn cold in Cleveland during football season. He was probably miserable. He might have been better if a southern team would have drafted him.
I know things didnt pan out in the nfl for him but johnny a legend. Off the field aside what he did in college was incredible. When you talk about legacy you can argue that hell be remembered more than even NFL HOF's
Johnny Football could have been an NFL legend. He did all that crazy stuff in college while skipping practice to go get wasted. Imagine if he actually tried.
I’m sorry I know you didn’t just say most people didn’t have wifi in 2012 😂😂 yes tf we did

No Wi-Fi in 2016? No phones? Bro what lol
I remember watching that manziel vid when it came out
I had no idea who Johnny Manziel was until I watched the Untold episode (I’m Australian) college players aren’t popular in Aus, NFL players barely become household names in Aus, obviously we know who Brady, Mahomes, Rodger’s and now the Kelce brothers but it’s extremely rare that an NFL player becomes well known here. I’m a fan of a the series that’s the only reason why I watched it. But holy damn did I love it, it’s my favourite episode. I absolutely love Johnny Football. His mentality was exactly like mine at that age except he had a lot more money. The football highlights were the biggest gee up. It’s hard for Australians to identify skill in NFL as we don’t play it, we have several of our own football disciplines. From watching him play you can see he oozed natural skill and talent. I really wish he made it in the NFL. My opinion doesn’t carry much weight and I don’t entirely understand NFL but I think Johnny Football has more talent and could have potentially been better than Mahomes. Clearly Mahomes is far more disciplined than Manziel and he is a better player than Manziel but damn Johnny Football was heaps flashier and his ability is astonishing. Long live Johnny Manziel.
As a die hard fan of Johnny i even brought his jersey i know nfl he was terrible but he very entertaining to watch no matter what
Bro said no wifi where did you live? We literally talked about that all day I remember my English teacher who was a huge Aggie fan made a bet with my friend who was a huge Alabama fan that he had to shave his head or no hw for the rest year. Buddy had to shave his head . 😂 bro I remember watching that game and from that day I wore #2 and I played qb and I made his money sign my celebration 😂I my Lord he was so Iconic
Most people didn't have wifi in 2012? 😅
This guy definitely grew up poor in the boonies and lacks the awareness to know that his experience wasn't the norm.
Just getting wifi in 2012, especially in the US, is wildly abnormal. In 2009, 76% of US adults had wifi access. It's even higher in 2012, at 83%. This guy was living under a rock and thinks everyone else was, as well. I'm sure well over half of US households had wifi in the early 2000s. The data just doesn't go back far enough for me to confirm that 100%, but common sense says that's the case. I know my family certainly had wifi in the mid to late 90s and we weren't even particulary well off.
The lack of awareness from this guy is actually mesmerizing to say that most people didn't have wifi in 2012 lol
Johnny already was going to have an uphill battle as a short qb so he couldn’t afford to have anything less than a professional image off the field but he enjoys the party life way too much and he didn’t have enough talent to suppress the negative publicity his off the field antics get.
The idea that a few inches makes you worse / better at QB shows the IQ level of most NFL fans 😂
While the doc was cool to watch, I felt that your video on Johnny over a year ago was more comprehensive. That said, I'm with you on the craziest parts of the doc are not really talked about as much.
I will say that the doc kinda started somewhat with a tone of a story of redemption for Johnny, only for that to not be consistent in the end, leaving me wondering if I was supposed to feel bad for Johnny or not. Even before watching this doc, I already had mixed feelings about Johnny anways. He was definitely entertaining and polarizing then, but not really someone to be a buddy with in the long run imo
I also really wanted the doc to go deeper into his troubled years, which didn't even happen as much as I liked, hence I prefer your video the most in that regard.
The ending of the doc left me wanting for more in a lackluster sense. I would have liked a two or three parter doc instead. I'd give it a 6/10
I don’t know if I missed u saying this, but the browns gm and other people said he didn’t watch a single piece of film at all, not once in his life
It’s pointless when the NFL is scripted
What does it matter....
As long as he goes to you church...
I hated haslams for this pathetic excuse of a quarter back. I remember draft night an seeing my fellow fans go crazy for what nobody else wanted. He was exactly what I thought he'd be. Rich party boy who lucked out in lower football gameplay. His idiocy worked in college never would work in the NFL.
I just realized I don't give a *bleep* about Johnny Football. L
You clicked and watched the video though 😂
I liked that I didn't feel like I was being lied to.
As the saying goes... Hard times create strong men, strong men create easy times, easy times create weak men, weak men create hard times. This is exactly why being born in the struggle is actually a blessing for boys that grow into men. It gives you motivation to change your circumstances which builds character because it's a hard thing to do. Johnny Manziel didn't care about making millions of dollars because he comes from a wealthy family and has never experienced poverty. Nothing would change about his life except a little more expensive car. He was already famous and had girls throwing themselves at him because he was the most popular guy on campus. Going from the Heisman winner on a college campus to a QB for the Browns is actually a downgrade when the money means nothing to the player. That's exactly why he was willing to risk going from 1st overall pick to the 4th round by doing drugs a week before the combine.
Best part for me was him telling the NCAA to screw itself
Yeah dude didn’t do too well in the nfl but no one can take away that he was cold as ice in college football dude was on a different level.
It sounds like you saying the N word when the video starts😂😂
Just imagine the dollars if he was under the NIL!
Can’t imagine. He had no work ethic. Said himself about watching film
He was paid at atm.
No his college performance was the reason the Browns drafted him. Nothin to do with his lawyer or agent at a combine/pro day
Actually, we already knew about the rental house incident in LA.
Let’s all just appreciate after all of that he is still alive.
Why would anyone appreciate that? Nobody here personally knows him. He's just a guy who blew an amazing opportunity. What a weird comment on your part.
Most people didn’t have wifi in 2012? Social media wasn’t big in 2012?
Beyond not true bud.
He was talking about his personal situation lol.
Go Johnny go! Gig 'em.
He will highly regret throwing away riches and fame for temporary pleasure
I am a Ohio State buckeye
I am a Michigan Wolverine
To be pacific or specific 😂
I can’t even feel bad for Johnny money. He will always be known as the biggest fluke in football history. Only person he can blame is himself
Biggest fluke? A 22nd overall draft pick? Lol. No one expected him to be good in the NFL. Not even he did. Not even his agent did. All they wanted was to get drafted and get a contract
@@cheeseballs9579 my respect for him went up so much after watching that… I’m only 14 so didn’t really get to remember him at his a&m days but he was just a college kid w some mental issues that wanted to live a fun life, party, drink, etc… Obviously that shit got to him, almost ended his life but man my view on him now is so much different
@@parkerknoche2709 same gang I’m 16 about to be 17 and I wasn’t old enough to remember but I heard of this guy but just thought he was some bust who threw his life away WRONG he was someone with a lot of pressure and hate as an young minded kid and it’s great to watch this seriously
Old news
You're super young. People were talking mad shit on the boards.
Watching that live was surreal
Alabama and it was TAMUs first run in the SEC. They may could beat that 2000 Miami team.
Seems like his biggest down fall was being too talented. If he was just regular talent, he would have stayed in college, had fun, play a little football, and graduate. Have a completly normal career and life. But he was too good by accident. And he paid the price for that. More access more mistakes more down falls.
Babe ruth of college football come
in hungover and still ball out 💪🏼
Man… sad
Specific… Not pacific, if your gonna commentate you gotta learn that one.
Drugs were the best thing that ever happened to him. He was not good enough to play in NFL. He is still a hot bust story, after all these years.
Good luck Johnny Football
I liked the Doc.
Its not like i feel bad for his actions.
But i just wish he loved the game kuz i like watching him in A&M and being that LeBron was in Cleveland at that time i just wanted the Bronws to finally win something seemed like the perfect timing.
dude stop we had wifi in 2012
I was not surprised what Johnny Manziel did to Alabama that day. I had Texas A&M winning that game anyway because Alabama is probably the most overrated football program in college football for almost 2 decades now and I wanted Texas A&M to win that game so everyone can shut the hell up about Alabama and Texas A&M did win that game. Even though I'm a die hard Oklahoma Sooners fan, I was really happy as an 8 year old at that time when Texas A&M beating the most overrated football program in college football which is Alabama
And yet Bama won the Natty that year he beat them while A&M was once again playing in a meaningless bowl game 😂😂😂. How is a team overrated for two decades?? Makes no sense whatsoever
He could have had quite the career if he wanted to succeed!
Nah, arm too weak and too small in size
Me and Johnny manziel would of had the numbers #3and #6 =36
The point of the documentary was to show he did everything he wanted in life that he dreamed of as a kid. Reached those goals way faster than planned and honestly don't think he wanted to leave college. Like college was his dream and he didn't want to leave but also didn't want people making money off of him. It's kinda wild if you think about it. Remember his favorite movie was Friday Night Lights. Maybe that's all he ever knew.
Enjoyed the documentary! Funny how people forget how kids, college kids, adults, politicians act and do illegal, crazy shit! It sounds to me that once he became a Pro (business) and just like any job there are boring details you must do to perform, and of course at this level you must go above and beyond just to stay afloat. He never had to work in college and how do you expect him to put in the time if he'd never done that before? He's only 30 and life is not over! So much more left to do and accomplish.
Also Johnny was such a good guy too he helped Mike evens man
Matt, you acting like if a athlete goes out and parties and does alcohol/drugs he’s automatically thrown his career out the window. I definitely agree that it’s not a good choice and has the possibility of being detrimental to the athletes career but let’s not forget about all the athletes that still had great careers while making those bad decisions. I mean Lawerence Taylor was addicted to smoking crack and prostitutes in the prime of his career and is one of if not the best linebacker to ever play the game. I get where you’re coming from though.
Matt grew up in the AAU circuit. He don’t know nothing about that life lol
Just look at the dudes face, and the Browns picked him first in the draft, enough said about the lack of football knowledge in the Browns organization. College trophies are meaningless in the NFL
he was the 22nd pick not 1st lmao
@@Wam-mw7tk it was the Browns first pick, was it not? Don't try to defend the Brown's
@@dansweda712as a brown fan… yeah… trying to defend the browns organization is a losing battle and something you just accept is pathetic. Current Cleveland Browns organization have at least won a playoff game over the last few years which is a massive upgrade of where we were the last decade + but we ar without a doubt one of the most pathetic sports organizations in the workd
@@BeanieDoggerson that one playoff win against the Steelers was probably the finest moment of my life as a Brown's fan, and the following game against KC was a close second, even though they lost, but neither is much to hang your hat on, as a fan for 53yrs I'd like them to at least make an appearance in a Superbowl before I die
The guy bashed his girlfriend, why are you celebrating him?
No proof of that
12:40 Mahomes IS
He sold his soul
I went to school with Julian Edelman, Kent State. Ppl don't give Kent credit. Joshua Cribbs, James Harrison etc. Anyway Julian tried to get buff but his body type was like Ryan Reynolds tbh. He finally cut his training to 3 times per week and i think he recovered better. He was always trying to find a way to improve. I lost contact with him. I also worked out with Billy Price, OT Ohio State when he lived near Kent in Highschool. Billy price used dumbbells. I asked him why. He replied he couldn't get injured bc barbells run in a single plane. Also he weighed 260, but they had him in the 280s...it's all b.s lol.
I guess Julian was more trying to improve, Billy was more about not taking the chances ( risks ). To be fair, everyone knew Billy would be a 1st round pic. Ppl forget Edelman played QB. I think Edelman's mind set of adjusting and improving served him well with the team that does just that. See how different mind sets change and shape things?
For those saying it’s dumb or ignorant for the Browns to have drafted Manziel in the first round I say nonsense. At that point I was very impressed with him in fact on draft day when the cowboys came up to draft all or most cowboys fans were on social media saying things like Jerry please come through and draft Manziel. I remember it well, clearly the cowboys picked well as they took offensive linemen Martin. I’m just saying many people thought Manziel was going to make it big in the NFL.
You can literally say it’s a FACT that Manziel had a more spectacular college career than Tom Brady despite using only half the college eligibility that Brady used. So it’s no wonder many people thought he would be a good NFL player. Manziel is just a frat boy for life.
Dude Brady had a horrible college career!! So why are you bringing up that comparison? Manziel heisman Brady part time college starter!! Did you even watch or research their careers? Brady was drafted 6th round I think! Brady ended up an exception and overachieved!! Your comparison between the two in college is dumb af!! As far as the rest of your comment I agree! The Brady comparison makes no sense! Brady barely started at Michigan
Fan
Johnny Manziel is the man. It’s not his fault everyone else wanted him to be something he wasn’t. All he wanted to do was have fun in life. Also Matt, it’s hard to understand the mind of addict. You say, “how hard is it to stay out of trouble”. For someone healthy, it’s easy. But for someone like Johnny who was clearly empty on the inside and looking for things to fill him up, it’s a lot harder.
Especially for someone who was literally on top of the fucking world. No one could’ve told him anything
Are you johnny Football's publicist? That's about all...
Johnny wasn't and still isn't THE MAN. Lol come on bro. He's a rich boy that had everything given to him. He is a man child however, and it still shows...at least with anyone with eyeballs. This pathetic feel bad for me documentary proves even more
Wack
@@kyos8462 you’re literally agreeing him. Johnny was given everything his whole life. He was definitely the man. Please tell me anyone else that was ever on johnnys level at the age of 20 lol. 20 years old, hanging out with biggest rappers and celebrities and then he wins the heisman trophy as a freshman lol. He was quite literally “the man” and there’s no arguing that lol
I think part of Manziel's problem with being ing the NFL, was he grew up in central Texas. It's too damn cold in Cleveland during football season. He was probably miserable.
He might have been better if a southern team would have drafted him.
Lol. Everyone tryna make excuse for him. He just wanted a big contract that’s it. The team didn’t matter
I know things didnt pan out in the nfl for him but johnny a legend. Off the field aside what he did in college was incredible. When you talk about legacy you can argue that hell be remembered more than even NFL HOF's
That draft night was all about him and he was only the 22nd pick lol. Just imagine an actual movie one day. You know it’ll happen one day
Johnny Football could have been an NFL legend. He did all that crazy stuff in college while skipping practice to go get wasted. Imagine if he actually tried.
I challenge any freshman to get thrown into the spotlight like him to not f up
Why didnt you bring up the fact he tried to off himself
More manziel bull shit lies. He couldn't tell the truth if his life depended on it!
I don’t support Netflix after “Cuties”
3-4 days of research! 😂😂 nice, hilarious indeed
I was Bron 1990 it wasn't no Internet grow up untill AOL in 2001 oh trust internet been out
Lol bro we had wi fi in 2012 ... dial up in 03...
You didn’t have Wi-Fi till 16 2012???? Lol Stone Age 😊
