The Colorado Buffaloes are firing in all cylinders and looking to make the Big 12 title game during Deion Sanders second year at the helm. Quarterback <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/college-football/ncaaf-news-colorado-qb-shedeur-sanders-makes-strong-admission-on-travis-hunter-heisman">Shedeur Sanders</a> has established himself as a top prospect heading into the NFL Draft and is putting the league on notice. However, former Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel sent Shedeur a strong message.



Manziel knows as well as any talented college football star how difficult it is to translate his game into an NFL gridiron. Controversies aside, ‘Johnny Football’ was one of the most electric <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ncaa">NCAA</a> QBs of the century, yet he failed to adapt into the highly-competitive environment of professional football.



Manziel has talked about his struggles coming into the league after being drafted by the Cleveland Browns and often mentioned the game-speed difference with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/college-football">college football</a> level. On that note, he gave Sanders a heads-up on what’s waiting for him in the big leagues.



“I think everybody has to go through it,” Manziel said about Shedeur. “I think a lot of mobile guys will really learn how fast and how quick the game is when you get to the next level. A lot of the things that you do in college, with ease at times, definitely button up and get a lot harder to do whenever you get to the NFL. The speed is just too fast. The D linemen are just too good.”

<h2>Manziel believes in Shedeur, though</h2>



Although <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/johnny-manziel">Manziel</a> admitted Sanders will have to adapt fast to the fast-paced defenses, the Texas A&amp;M legendary QB has hope in Deion Sanders’ son to overcome the adversity.


 

 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/college-football/buffaloes-news-shedeur-sanders-responds-to-bold-prediction-about-his-nfl-future"></div>


“I believe that Shedeur is still gonna get to that next level and be able to be elusive and be able to make plays. But, as everybody learns when he gets to the NFL, it’s a different beast.”



Though Manziel’s forecast is fairly accurate, Sanders’ archetype is not exactly that of a scrambling QB. The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/colorado-buffaloes">Buffaloes</a>‘ signal-caller excels when his feet are set in the pocket, despite his ability to extend plays. He displays great patience and vision inside the hashes.



<h2>Shedeur responds to rumours of possible NFL destination</h2>



As the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> season reaches its final stretch, and with teams focusing more on the upcoming draft class than the playoff bracket, rumors are swirling about where some of the top talents might land.



The New York Giants currently own the 4th overall pick and have benched QB Daniel Jones, clearly signalling a decision to move on from the former 6th overall selection from the 2019 Draft. Shedeur commented on the possibility of joining the G-men in NYC.



“Come on, man, I don’t know,” Shedeur said. “Nah I think it’s just up to the staff or up to the coaches at that point, I don’t know—no comment, that’s just a safe route for me. Just no comment.”

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/miami-hurricanes">Miami Hurricanes</a> took their first loss of the season during their visit to Georgia Tech. The Yellow Jackets prevailed 28-23 and shined the light on a worrisome trend within Mario Cristobal’s program. Former Heisman trophy winner Johnny Manziel issued a strong warning to Miami QB Cam Ward, and the rest of the team on their style of play.



The Hurricanes played with fire all season long and, against Georgia Tech, they ultimately got burned. The Canes have been walking on a thin plank, getting away with narrow victories week in and week out. Cam Ward and the offense seemed to be at their best when their backs were against the wall. However, against the Yellow Jackets Miami dug itself a hole too big to climb out of.



Heisman candidate Cam Ward completed 25 passes out of 39 attempts for 348 yards, 3 touchdowns and no interceptions. He had a fumble, though and the Canes star posted his season-low QB rating of 58.8.



After the game, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/college-football">college football</a> icon Johnny Manziel issued a strong warning to the Hurricanes, and Ward about their risky playstyle in which they allow opponents to jump on to early leads.

“It’s just how many times are they gonna get away with this in these close games? That’s just a recipe for disaster,” <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/johnny-manziel">Manziel</a> stated, via On3. “It could have happened multiple times, and it’s a little bit of a pattern, of what they’ve been as a team. It’s like they come alive whenever they’re down 7 points and have to come back.”


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/college-football/miami-hc-mario-cristobal-issues-strong-message-to-cam-ward-rest-of-the-team-after-first-loss"></div>


<h2>Manziel warns the Hurricanes about this pattern going into the Playoffs</h2>



Miami is well within reach of the ACC title game. If they win out, they’re in. However, Manziel admitted he is confident the Canes will make the postseason, but he has his worries on whether they can compete against the top programs in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ncaa">NCAA</a>.



“You’re gonna run into a team in the College Football Playoff who’s not gonna let up, and you’re not gonna be able to come back from the deficit.”



<h2>Cristobal’s message to the team</h2>



The loss to Georgia Tech was definitely frustrating for the school in Coral Gables. However, their shot at the ACC title game is still in front of them. Head coach Mario Cristobal has sent a clear message to his team.



“Got to own it. Got to own every bit of it, all of us. In this profession, when you take one on the chin like that, you’ve got to be a grown man, you got to own it. There’s no finger pointing, you just own it. And you don’t talk about it very much, you could just go do something about it.“

The Vanderbilt Commodores pulled off the biggest upset in program history, defeating the No. 1-ranked <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/alabama">Alabama Crimson Tide</a> for the first time since 1984. Commodores quarterback Diego Pavia credited his surprising inspiration, Johnny Manziel, for the upset victory over Jalen Milroe’s Alabama squad.



Vanderbilt made headlines across <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/college-football">college football</a> by taking down the nation’s top team. Diego Pavia put on a stellar performance and raised many eyebrows on the Crimson Tide’s defense. Kalen DeBoer’s defensive unit looked lost on the field.



After the thrilling win in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ncaa">NCAA</a>, which saw fans storm the field and bring down the goalposts, Pavia revealed a surprising source of motivation behind his play.



“Johnny Football, in his video he said he’s nothing to play with,” Pavia said. “I think the same way about myself. Just every time I step on the field, I feel like I’m the best player on the field. Every single time, that I just gotta keep showing up. It’s God’s timing.”

Pavia finished the day with 252 passing yards, along with two touchdowns and 56 yards on the ground. Vandy’s QB inspiration on <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/johnny-manziel">Manziel</a> certainly paid off, whether he also mimicked Johnny Football’s celebrations is a story for another day.

<h2>Alabama suffers huge misstep</h2>



Entering the week as the top-ranked team in the AP Poll, Alabama’s shocking loss has sent them tumbling in the rankings. Now at No. 7, DeBoer’s program will face heavy scrutiny after such a stunning defeat.



Alabama’s playoff hopes are suddenly in jeopardy. While their 4-1 record remains strong, this unexpected conference loss to a weaker opponent could have lasting repercussions. Alabama can’t afford to linger on this defeat for long, though, as the South Carolina Gamecocks will be in Tuscaloosa for their SEC matchup on October 12th.

The Texas Longhorns have two talented quarterbacks who could easily start in any other team. However, when a team has two starting-caliber quarterbacks, the team has no starting quarterback. A decision has to be made and stand by it. Texas made their decision: Quinn Ewers is their guy this season, though recency bias points to <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/arch-manning">Arch Manning</a> as the true QB1. Legendary college football quarterback Johnny Manziel rested his case on this debate.



Quinn Ewers sustained an injury on Saturday night, although he is not expected to be out for considerable time. The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/texas-longhorns">Longhorns</a>‘ offense erupted after Manning’s entrance and the performance raised some questions on whether Ewers’ spot is at stake. 



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/johnny-manziel">Johnny Manziel</a> knows a thing or two about commanding a football program in the state of Texas, though he did so at a different school. And as the discussion ongoes, the former Texas A&amp;M quarterback made his stance known. 



“I think obviously what he’s done the last few years there, and even this year, this is very much still Quinn’s job,” Manziel said, per On3.

<h2>‘Johnny Football’ speaks on Arch Manning</h2>



The 2012 Heisman Trophy winner addressed Arch Manning’s play as the backup QB stole the show in his last outing. Despite his limited playtime Arch showcased his skills and some have even snuck him into consideration for the Heisman. That seems far fetched, but Arch has definitely put the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ncaa">NCAA</a> on notice.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/sports/ncaaf-news-longhorns-hc-makes-big-warning-about-arch-manning-to-the-rest-of-the-league"></div>






“For Arch to come in and do what he did that early, read the play to perfection and just outrace everyone to the end zone. I think it’s something that when you’re watching on Saturday, everyone’s eyes kind of opened up a little bit.“



Manning is still considered the backup QB, and to call him a Heisman candidate, let alone favorite, would be a longshot. However, the young freshman continues to impress and evolve and has already turned heads all over the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/college-football">college football</a> landscape.

Quarterbacks who set big records in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nfl">NFL </a>often get all the attention after they retire. However, every once in a while, a failed quarterback grabs attention. In a recent <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/netflix">Netflix </a>documentary, a former NFL quarterback admitted to something horrifying things.



Game tapes are essential for all players, not just quarterbacks. Players should review tapes of their own games and games from other teams to improve their play. Some players lie about watching game tapes. For example, JaMarcus Russell once claimed that he had watched the tapes his team gave him, even though they were blank.



Netflix has many documentaries about famous NFL players who won championships and awards. However, this documentary is unique because it focuses on the life of a college quarterback who failed in the NFL.



<h2>Who was the former QB who admitted never having seen tapes?</h2>



The former quarterback who admitted to never watching game tapes is Johnny Manziel. In the documentary, Manziel reveals that he never watched tapes, saying ‘zero’ with his hand. This could have been one of the reasons for his downfall in the NFL. Manziel also confesses to other personal issues, such as illegal drugs use.

The documentary about Manziel’s life reveals many personal details that may have contributed to his failed career. It is a cautionary tale for young athletes who may think they are too talented to work hard.

Johnny Manziel was supposed to be the franchise quarterback of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cleveland-browns">Cleveland Browns</a> when the team drafted him with the 22nd overall pick in 2014. He was the second QB taken just behind Blake Bortles who went to the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jacksonville-jaguars">Jacksonville Jaguars</a>.



However, Manziel’s performances were full of inconsistency and his controversies off the field derailed all hopes at the NFL. In 2016, after an incident of domestic violence, the Browns released him.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230519#BUS#2431"></div>


Then, Johnny Manziel had to try luck in Canada with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats and the Montreal Alouettes. Though he was a Heisman Trophy winner, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/patrick-mahomes-reveals-his-top-5-greatest-quarterbacks-of-all-time-20230525-BUS-3769.html">quarterback</a> never came back to the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nfl">NFL</a> and now revealed a shocking episode with the Browns.



<h2>Johnny Manziel admits he attempted suicide</h2>



In a a new documentary of Netflix called “Untold: Johnny Football”, Johnny Manziel admitted he attempted suicide when the Cleveland Browns released him on March of 2016.







“I had planned to do everything I wanted to do at that point in my life, spend as much money as I possibly could and then my plan was to take my life. I wanted to get as bad as humanly possible to where it made sense and it made it seem like an excuse and an out for me.”



In an incredible revelation, Manziel confirmed he bought a weapon to take his life, but the gun failed when the former quarterback of the Browns triggered it. “Still to this day, I really don’t know what happened. The gun just clicked on me.”


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230621#BUS#14883"></div>


Before that episode, in the weeks following the 2015 season, Johnny Manziel acknowledged he used drugs almost daily. On January of 2016, he was accused by his then-girlfriend of an assault charge and had to reach an agreement. Two months later, Cleveland cut him.
