Johnny Manziel is set to be remembered as football’s equivalent of Charlie Sheen. This dual-threat quarterback smashed loads of football records in an incredibly short time, going from a major football prospect to a total downfall, wrecking his career and reputation. Netflix recently dropped a documentary about the former NFL QB, and people can’t stop talking about it for a bunch of reasons.

Back in 2012, everything kicked off with Manziel’s incredible victory, leading Texas A&M against Alabama Crimson Tide. He even won a Heisman Trophy that year, the top individual prize in college football. As the years went on, he became a big NFL prospect with loads of impressive achievements. But his agent spilled the beans on how things actually went wrong.

A recent Reddit post spills the details about Manziel’s agent, Erik Burkhardt, who made Johnny take drug tests every week leading up to the NFL combine. Then, just before the combine, even Manziel’s dad played a trick, as it reveals, “His Dad faked a heart attack so he could leave the Combine early.” The post goes on to say that the Texans wanted Manziel over Clowney, until a video of him partying popped up, which made the team’s choice crystal clear. They immediately took him off the draft list, and then he headed to the Browns after.

The Reddit post spills more about the things that kept happening while the former NFL QB was with the Browns. It turns out, Manziel partied with his teammates, who were supposed to catch for him the next day. But they all got so hungover, even the QB himself, who ended up throwing up on his agent and lawyer. The post’s author finishes by saying how the QB’s agent begged Jimmy Haslam, one of the Browns’ owners, to bring Manziel on board. But later, the owner said a homeless person gave him the idea to draft the QB, which really confused Burkhardt.

The docu-series had promised a heaven full of details, yet failed to deliver intricate moments that led to Manziel’s downfall. Fans are feeling kind of mixed and puzzled, and only a second part of the series or some future project might really tell the whole story.
