The new Johnny Manziel documentary reveals some surprising things about the former Texas A&M star quarterback including his biggest lie.
Johnny Football's crazy story is now out there in documentary form on Netflix in"Untold" Johnny Football."As we all watched Johnny Manziel take over the college football world back in 2012, winning a Heisman Trophy and putting Texas A&M on the SEC map in its inaugural season in the sport's toughest conference, we knew we were witnessing something unique, something awesome. What we saw with our eyes, on the field, brought us to our feet.
What we heard whispers about and got hints of on social media, Johnny Football OFF the field, sparked curiosity and intrigue, and often we were left wondering what exactly the WHOLE story was. Well, a decade later, we got the documentary that we wannabe Johnny Football historians have been asking for, as Netflix droppedMy biggest takeaway after viewing it? Seventy minutes isn't nearly enough to tell the story of Johnny Manziel. Not even close.
The producers went into incredible detail about the rise of Manziel, his time at A&M, the hero worship he experienced, and the money he made, all of it illegal in the eyes of the NCAA. Unfortunately, the fall of Manziel, which really began the day he set foot in the NFL, got way less attention, way less time, and maybe that was by design. After all, somewhat surprisingly, Manziel is still around to tell his version of his story.
Aside from the brevity of the project, here are some things that stood out to me on a show that I would most certainly still give high grades:If the Manziel phenomenon took place in 2023, he would be lauded as the most lucrative NIL money machine in collegiate sports. Unfortunately, for Manziel, he accepted hundreds of thousands of dollars for his autograph back in 2013, when the NCAA was still running things, so he was viewed as an outlaw.
