The run of controversies surrounding Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel, the only true freshman in college football history to bring home a Heisman Trophy, just keeps on spinning.
Over the weekend Johnny Football made an appearance at a University of Texas frat party, clad in a Tim Tebow jersey. Predictably, the Longhorns party wasn't too keen on hosting the world's most famous Aggie, and partygoers could be heard screaming at Manziel to "get the f-k out of here."
Manziel recently said he feels "like Justin Bieber" because of the intense scrutiny he's endured since winning college football's most prestigious award. After his latest public misstep, he defended himself on Twitter from his detractors by posting:
"Last time I checked double digit win columns and championships are what matters." He followed that with another tweet reading, "Just Win, Baby."
Winning is one thing Manziel proved adept at in 2012. The Aggies were 11-2 with Manziel leading the way, and pulled off the upset of the year when Manziel led his team past the eventual-champion Alabama Crimson Tide on their home field.
In that stirring win, Manziel completed 24-of-31 passes (77 percent) for 253 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions. He also ran the ball 18 times for 92 yards, although Alabama's stingy D was able to keep him out of the end zone on the ground.
For the season, Manziel threw for 3,706 yards, 26 touchdowns and only picks. On the ground he was even more lethal, racking up 1,410 yards on 201 attempts, an average of seven whopping yards per rush. He scored 21 touchdowns in the running game, bringing his grand total to 47 end zone trips.
Some fear his hard partying and carefree attitude could be his downfall, despite the thrilling plays on the field. Manziel disagrees. Until he falters on the gridiron it'd be unwise to bet against the Heisman winner.
