Manziel Antics Too Much?

  Cleveland Browns First-round-draft-selection Johnny Manziel (No.24 overall), better known as "Johnny Football" has a lot of off-the-field buzz. From him going to Las Vegas for Memorial day weekend, to him taking "selfies" with Justin Bieber, Manziel really knows how to keep the media interested. Is it too much? Should the Browns organization continue to put up with his behavior?

  Going into to the NFL draft, teams knew what Manziel would bring. Attention, a young man who could produce on the field, however, he had problems staying out of the spotlight while he was not on the field. He wasn't going out getting into trouble, he hasn't been reported for doing anything that would tarnish his football career. Basically, he has just been doing things that keep him in the news and therefore, the teams that he has been on have stayed in the news. When at Texas A&M, not such a big deal, "he's a college kid", that's the excuse people gave him. Now, Manziel being a professional football player, people have expected him to change the lifestyle that he was living previous to being drafted.

Most recently, there has been a lot of chaos surrounding Manziel in a "selfie", that also included Justin Bieber, Tyrese, and Floyd "Money" Mayweather. This photograph was posted by Justin Bieber, in the caption it said "with the boys @floydmayweather @tyrese @Jmanziel2". Last time I checked, hanging with friends or peers isn't a crime. What's to complain about? Because he went back to Las Vegas for the 4th of July weekend? or because, he hangs out with other celebrities? The Cleveland Browns have another issue at hand, which is much bigger. That issue, wide receiver, Josh Gordon. Gordon was pulled over by the police the past weekend with a suspicion of a DWI, while already appealing a suspension for the season for violating the NFL drug abuse policy. Manziel and Gordon are both in the spotlight by the media, the only problem, only of these players has done something wrong, and it's not Johnny Football.

  I think Manziel is going to continue to be Manziel. The owner has asked that he "tone it down" but, what does he have to change? his friends? not take vacations? He is a 21-year-old young male, he wants to enjoy himself. People have different interests, and for Johnny Football, his interest seems to be hanging with "the boys". I do think that come time for camp, he has to show that he is going to produce and that he was worthy of being a first-rounder, other than that, let Manziel be Manziel. Besides, he just having some clean good fun, as far we know.
