Johnny football (Untold) story

[JDS]

This was a great watch to relive the rise & fall of Johnny Football. From his magical freshman Heisman winning season to becoming an NFL bust and ultimately being suicidal in his late 20’s. I definitely recommend this documentary especially since college football is right around the corner.

I was high on Johnny Manziel in college and thought he would be the next Brett Favre with legs.

A+ review from me.

All you need to know is he was an absolute Trainwreck everywhere he went after A&M

Yes he definitely was, this documentary gives you an idea of why that exactly happened.

Does it talk about the CFL?

Does it talk about the CFL?

Nope, why is there an interesting backstory on his days in the CFL ?

 

[BMR Genie]

Did it explain everything that went wrong with him and his career?

my favorite part is when they had his IPAD tracked for how long he watched film and he was laughing abd bragging about NEVER WATCHING FILM. 0 hours and 0 minutes

and he wonders why he is a failed NFL player and desperate for money so he made a documentary

It explained most things as he was telling it in his own words.

He flamed out there and it's not included? LOL

Worthless/incomplete story

My favorite part was when his friend concocted a story for the NCAA/media to cover up for their signing autographs business after they made hundreds of thousands of dollars on it. The Manzel family wasn’t as wealthy as the media portrayed them in the oil business.

Guy had bust written all over him

At any level

 

[RRsilver]

Had the world in his hand, then dropped it. What most of us would not give for an opportunity like that.

 

[stormtrooper8]

Guy was honestly pretty clearly going to be a busy based on his background plus lack of physical gifts

He was a perfect pick for the Cleveland Browns

Reality is he shouldn’t have had that opportunity. He didn’t deserve to be picked in the first round.

He was objectively a 4th-5th round guy at best

less fact checkers 10 years ago. Still social media but not as insane as it is now

Same with Manti Teo. I feel like that story wouldn't have happened or as wild in today's world
