Johnny Manziel has a reputation that precedes him, and with a nickname like Johnny Football, you might be inclined to believe that the bulk of his reputation would rest on some seriously impressive NFL statistics ranking him as an all-star rookie QB. But that’s not the case.
With his reputation as the life of any party having been well known at his alma mater, Texas A&M, Manziel could not have let anyone down when he joined the ranks of the big boys. Posing for photos alongside my honey, Drizzy:
Holding sparklers in his mouth like any drunken superhero begging for a trip to the emergency room (after of course the flammable contents in his mouth are lit aflame):
Unapologetically fulfilling ever cliché spring break with friends whose hands would just look empty and wrong without an entire bottle to hold:

Some people graduate university and become adult members of society with a interesting and broad range of skills available to contribute to society. Some people get drafted into the NFL (subsequently becoming some convoluted form of untouchable American royalty) with an $8.25 million dollar contract and a $4.3 million dollar signing bonus. If someone is willing to cut you a check for millions, it’s downright impossible to believe your s**t stinks.
And when your NFL looks the other way and gives you the first string quarterback start after another domestic assault occurrence, it’s hard to believe that the NFL would take issue with how you like to spend your free time. That is, unless you party like Johnny Football.
After a video of Manziel partying with a bottle of alcohol surfaced during a bye week, the team sat his ass down on the bench and considered getting rid of him altogether. So, if a party is enough reason for Johnny to have risked his career in the past, who’s to say it wouldn’t make sense for him to don a disguise and party alongside some Vegas strippers? And I’m sure he thought he was outsmarting everyone when he posted an instagram seemingly placing him in a calm Avon, Ohio.
Ironclad alibi. One too many concussions damage one too many brain cells? Alert Will Smith.
The rumor was outlined best by ESPN Las Vegas:

Johnny Manziel update:
We all know Vegas stories can get extremely crazy involving celebrities. This is going to sound wild, and maybe hard to believe, but this is what we’re hearing regarding Johnny Manziel.
Our sources tell us Manziel was at a popular night club on the strip Saturday night. The QB entered wearing a blonde wig, a fake mustache, glasses, and a hoodie.
Manziel introduced himself as “Billy.” He was there into the 3am hour and when it came time to pay the bill, he asked to have it comped because he didn’t bring cash and also didn’t want to put it on his card.
However, the sources tell us he ended up paying with his card and signing the check.
By 3am he appeared to be enjoying the party scene that Vegas is known to offer.
The club had Manziel and his crew placed at a VIP table close to the DJ booth. The table is located in one of the darkest areas of the club.
Manziel dined at the club’s restaurant before going to the nightclub. He was seated at the most private area in the restaurant, which is still out in the open. And yes, he ate with his wig and glasses on.
Welp, kid. You tried.
