Johnny’s first start at Texas A&M was a 20-17 home loss to No. 24 Florida. Despite going 23 of 30 and adding 60 yards on the ground (and a rushing TD), Manziel returned to his house to find a slew of “for sale” signs in his yard.

According to one estimate, Manziel’s Heisman Trophy victory was worth $37 million dollars of free publicity to Texas A&M. Related, the Texas A&M Foundation raised more than $740 million dollars that year, which was $300 million more than any other one-year period.

“I was tired of not having any money, Manziel says in the doc, “and I sure as hell saw 45 million No. 2 A&M Adidas jerseys sold. It didn’t make any sense, and I had a bone to pick.”

Continued Manziel, “I have a deep hatred against the NCAA.”

In 2013, Manziel and his childhood friend Nate Fitch were paid $3,000 to sign a slew of autographs in Miami. While signing, a man representing someone known as “the king of autographs” told them they were being “hosed” on money. They went downstairs to meet the alleged “king,” who pulled up in a black Rolls-Royce Dawn and had Alex Rodriguez (via phone) vouch for him.

Manziel’s new partner got him a room, had the quarterback sign a number of autographs, and upon his completion gave him the code to the safe which consisted of $30,000.

“Once that happened for the first time, it was, like, game on.”

Manziel repeatedly returned to Miami (and various other locations) to sign autographs for money. “For a 19-year-old kid to have about 100 grand in cash stuffed under your bed, it was awesome,” Johnny said on Untold.

The influx of money led to an NCAA investigation, with Nate inventing a fictitious “Johnny comes from oil money” narrative to explain Manziel’s abundance of cash. Nate eventually became the “fall guy” — with Johnny noting that they split everything 80-20 — while Manziel’s “punishment” was being suspended by the NCAA for half a game.

After a night of partying, Johnny wasn’t sure he’d be able to pass a drug test at the upcoming NFL Combine. “The only thing I’ve ever been told was, ‘Fail a drug test at the combine, and you’re gonna go from first-round pick to maybe undrafted.'”

Johnny’s sports agent, Erik Burkhardt, didn’t want Manziel to attend the combine. Johnny insisted, so Burkhardt came up with a compromise: fake a family emergency. The plan was for Johnny to go to the combine for a day, but suddenly have to leave because either his mom or dad had to “suddenly” go to the hospital. That plan never came to fruition because Johnny was going to “chug a gallon of fucking water” and had intimate knowledge of how to pass a drug test.

“I come to find out on my own it was like their fourth-string backup quarterback that was pissing for him at A&M,” Burkhardt said in the doc.

Per Erik Burkhardt, “One of the receivers is missing. This other receiver’s drunk, can’t get up. So the Browns walk in the facility, [Johnny’s] warming up, they look over, they’re like, ‘Where are the receivers?’And Johnny goes, ‘Ah, we’re good.'”

It should be noted that the Browns drafted Manziel with the 22nd pick.

Despite making it to the pros, Manziel lost his love for the game and never felt comfortable in the NFL. Cleveland’s GM called Johnny’s agent and told him that Manziel “doesn’t watch tape,” which wasn’t an exaggeration. Johnny’s iPad hours were at 0.00 and the former QB admits he watched “zero” tape.

“What it takes to be the face of a franchise each and every day, that’s just not who he is, and he never put that much into it,” former A&M offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury said. “If he wanted to do it, his skill set and how good he is as a player, he could’ve done it. He never worked at it.”

Eventually, Johnny went to rehab, returning to the Browns after ten weeks.

In January of 2016, Manziel went to Las Vegas on Saturday afternoon, planning to return in time for Cleveland’s final game of the season on Sunday. Adorned in a fake wig and mustache, Johnny missed the final flight to Cleveland, so he decided to stay in Vegas and party.

In February of 2016, the Dallas police investigated a domestic violence claim against Manziel after an encounter between the QB and his ex-girlfriend Colleen Crowley. Per Untold, “Crowley said Manziel led her down a back stairway, and that she told the valet, ‘Please don’t let him take me. I’m scared for my life.'”

The Browns eventually released Manziel.

After his release, things went from bad to worse. “I was mostly doing a lot of coke and taking Oxys,” Manziel said in the documentary. “I went from 215 pounds in January to 175 pounds by September. “I got diagnosed as bipolar, and I felt like it was the same as being called an alcoholic or a drug addict.”

Continued Manziel, “Direct self-sabotage, trying to burn this thing down. I had planned to do everything that 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.”

Manziel bought a gun that he planned on using to take his own life.

“I wanted it 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,” Johnny recalls. “Still, to this day, I don’t know what happened, but the gun just clicked on me. I couldn’t fix what I’d done, with Colleen, with the NFL, with A&M, everything.”

The documentary does, however, conclude on a positive note, with Manziel saying that he’s “very much on the pursuit of happiness in a way more simplistic form” than he was years ago.
