Johnny Manziel Admits Difficulty in Dealing with Spotlight
[USA Today]
HOOVER, Ala. — Cameras in his face and accompanied by Texas A&M officials, Johnny Manziel made his anticipated arrival Wednesday at SEC Media Days.
First stop: ESPN.
Manziel admitted his new-found fame as the first freshman quarterback to win the Heisman Trophy was more difficult than he imagined.
“The spotlight is 10 times brighter and 10 times hotter than I thought it was two months ago,” Manziel said.
“I guess I feel like Justin Bieber or something. I never thought it would really be that way.”
Manziel was appearing before the media just days after his latest offseason controversy. He clarified why he left the Manning Passing Camp early this past weekend.
Manziel admitted to missing a meeting Saturday and blamed it on oversleeping after his cellphone died.
