Johnny Manziel is a Cleveland Brown now, but now that his ride is over the other NFL teams will have their chance to comment on how they view players they didn't land. The New England Patriots scouting report on Manziel has apparently leaked via Bro Bible and it has some harsh realities about Manziel as a football player and a person.
The report has all the information a normal team would have on any player, but with Manziel the list goes on and on when it comes to ego and his off the field incidents. Some of the gems from the report are as follows:
- Manziel’s a spoiled brat (grandfather gives him allowance, father bought him luxury car)
- Doesn't study the game, said to know about 60 percent of the offense
- Comes from 'outlaw bloodlines', mom moved the family to Kerrville to get away from father's wild family. Father's family is said to be very shady people, always into something, they are the root of Johnny's personality.
- Teammates don't dislike him, but there's some resentment, more so in the offseason when he isn't coming to workouts and they are busting their butt.
- Will never take football seriously enough for our coaching staff, he'll hate meetings, will have to drag him to work out, etc. The definition of the word maintenance.
The report lists all the positives and negatives for Manziel, but pointing out the bad as opposed to the good is a lesson that every young player should learn from. It doesn't matter how many good things you bring to the table if you bring a bad attitude and circus with it. Manziel isn't a Patriot, he is a Brown so these are their issues to address, but you have to assume that the Browns did their homework as well.
Manziel has a ton of upside and will have to change his work habits if he is to stay in this league longer than two years. The Patriots’ report shed some light on the way the NFL looks at Manziel, but he has plenty of time to rehab the image.
