Johnny Manziel taking only online classes at Texas A&M
http://www.usatoday.com/story/gameon...asses/1929057/
Johnny Manziel has become the big man off campus. The Texas A&M quarterback and Heisman winner said Monday night at the Davey O'Brien Award reception that all of his classes for this semester are online, though Texas A&M spokesman Brad Marquardt refused to confirm or deny Manziel's schedule in a phone call with USA TODAY Sports. SPRING FOOTBALL: Dates for every FBS team Manziel also told reporters at the reception that he's only on campus once every month. Though the arrangement might seem odd, Manziel is well within his rights to tackle his course load online. He even tried to take an English course on campus this semester but had to drop it when his peers' requests for photos and autographs became too much. "I didn't think anything of it, and it kind of turned into a little more of a big deal than I thought," Manziel said, according to the Associated Press. Manziel's various outings since winning the Heisman – sitting courtside at NBA games, attending the Super Bowl and being photographed at Mardi Gras – have been well documented, and being under a microscope has taken a toll on him. "I know plenty of friends who went down to Mardi Gras to New Orleans and other guys who went to the Super Bowl too," Manziel said. "I was down there with other college football guys too, so I don't know, people like to give me a hard time more than others. There's college kids doing what I'm doing all around the country. People just think I'm going wild with it, when it's not like that." |

It is funny how he tried to brush it off as he is doing it because of too much attention from his peers which is why he had to drop his campus class. Nobody really cares anyways. A person would be very naive to think someone like him is really attending class every session and doing all the work anyways.

A&M aren't used to having popular players I guess.

Right now. I see his draft stock moving up with the continued success of QB's like Kaepernick in the league. Plus, continued improvement and maturity in his game. He has good downfield vision, excellent instincts/escape-ability and handles pressure well. If he continues to improve his passing game and doesn't look to run quite so quickly he could easily develop into a top prospect in the next couple years.

shouldn't the title be "Johnny Manziel paying someone to take his online classes at Texas A&M"?
