This whole "Johnny Football" mess that's been all over the sports sites and ESPN is a bit ridiculous in my opinion. Let the guy have fun and be a college kid. I realize you're held to a higher standard when you've just won the Heisman Trophy and you're the quarterback of a team, but come on. He's just doing what normal college kids do.
However, I do think he has been a bit snobby and perhaps that's because he grew up in a wealthy household. That shouldn't be a factor in how he performs on the field. It may make people dislike him, it may make people love him. Perhaps he should keep a lower profile, but that is who he is. It's obvious he enjoys being in the spotlight, though. The only thing I can see where it may hurt him is his draft stock when the time comes. NFL teams are starting to look more at the character of the players and how they present themselves, so that's a potential red flag for NFL teams.
Agree or Disagree?
