Johnny Manziel: The Most Outstanding Player In College Football

The Heisman Award is awarded to the most outstanding player in college football whose performance best exhibits the pursuit of excellence with integrity. Each year this is given to an athlete that is deserving. Just going to college for football is a great feat but having them fighting for you to come to their college is even crazier. Having 10 offers for football but only having one in a heart in his home state, Texas A&M was an easy choice. In 2012 just being a college freshman Johnny Manziel was awarded the Heisman Award which had never happened before. After two more college years, Manziel was drafted 22nd in the NFL draft to the Cleveland Browns making $8.247 million which included $6.702 million in guaranteed money. This high rolling and the high popularity soon caught up to him with the new age in social media and the high profile he carried around. Just his name brought so much attention that he was barely able to walk to class at Texas A&M without paparazzi's getting to him, Johnny Manziel was one of the most electrifying athletes to play college

Being raised by Paul and Michelle Manziel who were both semis-wealthy real estate agents, they lived in a nice neighborhood. He had a sister along side him through his childhood. At an early age, Manziel showed signs of athletic excellence. “At the age of two he was swinging a Fisher-Price golf club like a professional golfer and if that was not enough he was knocking the ball over a 100-foot fence in their backyard, all-star,” says his aunt Bridgette Hooper. (Staples) “At the age of 7 with his first season having it be coach pitched he hit like, 27 homers. They raised the fence on the left field line. And they were like, well that's over with, No. He hit it over that.” (Staples) This all-star was a fierce competitor having to win in anything he did which included fishing all the way down to the simplest competitions in a card
