The authenticity of this report is being disputed but if true it sure says a lot about Manziel. If true it confirms the bad vibe I got off the guy from just watching the draft. I originally came across this over on PFT but figured I would quote the actual source:


Here are some of the excerpts

On his family:


From the vibe of online articles, father seems a little too involved and overstepping his boundaries.
Vibe on this guy keeps getting worse. Support staff members are sick of him and ready for him to go. Described as a ****y, me-guy.
Loves football, FBI is high as well. Everything has been pretty well-documented in online articles about the kid, but sources say he’s a spoiled brat (grandfather gives him allowance, father bought him luxury car).
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.

On his psyche:

Couple of TXTC sources say can’t yell/scream at him or he shuts down; has walked away from Kingsbury in the past.
On his work ethic:


Doesn’t study the game, said to know about 60% of the offense in ’12, never watches film; one source said only time he watched film during ’12 was before ALUN.
Knows how to scheme the system, arrogant and full of himself, but he’s not smug to coaches. Has been like this since Day 1, has never gone to class, goes to beat of own drum, but has ultimate confidence.

On how his teammates view him:

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.

Looks pretty authentic and accurate. The entire Patriot team lives in fear of the consequences of information like this getting out. Water boarding torture is probably underway to find the culprit or it was deliberately leaked with Bill's permission. There is a great story behind this, if they can get anyone to talk.

Unfortunately the Pats only had enough room in their A/V budget to film other team's practices and the like, so they will have a hard time finding video evidence.
 
You guys seriously think thats authentic...? Wow. These are all things that we have heard before, someone just took known information and tried to make it look legitimate.

Its laughable to call him a spoiled brat for driving a nice car. Do any of you know someone from a rich family that drives a Honda?

I agree it's questionable. Though I do believe he has an attitude. Just watching him at the draft it was pretty apparent. The longer he sat there the more and more it looked like he was pouting. Maybe he just bought too hard into his own press? I am not sure. Either way the guy looked like the kid that wasn't picked first for dodgeball.
 
If it wasn't legitimate NE probably would have said something by now.
 
Not sure if that report is true or not but I never got into Manziel hype. I always said that he looks more like a Ryan Leaf rather than a Peyton Manning.

Cleveland is really dumb as rocks. First Quinn (who was initially slated to be drafted by us) now Manziel.
