The same can be said for Peyton Manning, Eli Manning, John Elway, LeBron James and any number of mega-talented athletes.
The difference is parenting and family. Manziel, unlike those mentioned, bought into the hype and adulation. The trouble usually begins when one begins to believe their own press clippings.
If a person doesn't respect their parents, siblings or any person of authority in their life, it's difficult to respect ones self.
