    I was pushing for the Jets to draft this kid. Now I am glad they didn't and I think the Browns are experiencing some buyer's remorese as well.

    Developmentally he is firmly ensconced on the third team already. Behavioral issues have come into play as well; lots of drunk selfies, Vegas photos and such.

    Now, just two weeks after the Browns offically advised him to tone it down and grow up he is photographed this weekend back in Vegas rolling a dollar bill up tightly in a Men's room. Presumably he was prepping to snort some nose candy.

    I know this kid didn't attend classes at A & M but did he have an IQ test while there?

    He's basically thrown down the gauntlet to the NFL and the Browns. STFU I'm going to party like I want to when I'm not at work. He's now friends with Justin Bieber so that should go well. I wonder how long till he's arrested in some bar scuffle, a celebrity hanging out in bars like he does eventually gets challenged by some idiot with a few beers under his belt and a fight ensue's over somebody's manhood.

    I predict like you that this won't end well for him. I hope Justin Bieber needs a pool boy in a few years.

    Am I the only one who thinks the Heisman Trophy has been devalued in the past few years by the conduct of the winners both before and after receiving the award?

    No, you are not. I always thought the Heisman signified character and leadership in addition to on the field accomplishment.

    A goofy kid like this sullies the award in my opinion.

    Giving further depth to the term 'SEC speed.'

    We'll see how this goes... if he can win a spot and do the job, the NFL doesn't give a **** what you do. There's always the Raiders if you can win..

    If you can't, NFL stands for 'not for long.'

    I'm with Sid and George.

    And I think the current Heisman winner is worse than Manziel.
