"Had the emotional maturity of a 13-year-old", "We’ve heard enough from Manziel for one lifetime" - NFL fans troll former Browns QB Johnny Manziel ahead of new Netflix documentary

Whether you hate him or love him, you can never really forget Johnny Football, aka Johnny Manziel. The former Cleveland Browns quarterback, who hasn't played in the NFL since 2015, is set to have a documentary about himself released on Netflix soon.

On Friday morning, the streaming platform tweeted a video of Manziel being interviewed with the caption showing an eye-popping emoji, hinting at an upcoming project.

This led to a flurry of reactions on social media from fans, with many bemused by the announcement.

@netflix @JManziel2 We’ve heard enough from Manziel for one lifetime.
@netflix @OSGNelson @JManziel2 I don't see a whole lot of intrigue there.

Amazingly talented QB who electrified college football for two years and won the Heisman.
Had the emotional maturity of a 13 year old.
Partied himself out of the NFL in short order.

There's your doc.
@netflix @JManziel2 I won't watch that either
@netflix @JManziel2 ah come on man....we don't need this....
@jq6008 @netflix @OSGNelson @JManziel2 Electric in high school, little hype going into college, became a worldwide celebrity partying with drake and snoop, first round draft pick, a lot of on and off the field allegations, lost love for the game, sounds like a pretty interesting story in my opinion

A section of fans feel the opposite and can't wait to watch the documentary.

@netflix @JManziel2 Bro pioneered the college kids should get paid movement and people mad he’s getting his Doc. I can’t wait to watch it
@netflix @JManziel2 ooh wow must watch

One fan questioned whether Netflix is preparing for live sports play soon with all the sports content they've put out recently. The network recently released 'Untold: The Girlfriend Who Didn’t Exist', which highlighted the story of former NFL linebacker Manti Te'o being the victim of a catfishing scandal.

@netflix @BryanDFischer @JManziel2 I seems like Netflix is increasing their sports related docs/content lately. Are they hinting towards a live sports play here soon?? 🤔 would be cool

Here are some other tweets worthy of notice:

@netflix @JManziel2 Honestly couldn’t care less… but of course me and the rest of these people commenting are going to watch… we’ll played @netflix

Johnny Manziel's career in NFL fell short with Cleveland Browns

Johnny Manziel is like many other Browns quarterbacks: he never lived up to the expectations and hype, and was ultimately a bust.

Manziel was one of the most electrifiying players in NCAA football history during his time at Texas A&M. He won the Heisman Trophy in 2012, and was taken in the first round of the 2014 NFL draft by the Browns.

Coming into the league, many had high expectations from him and thought he could be the franchise quarterback the Browns had been looking for over the years.

He saw limited action as a rookie and played in five games while starting in two, throwing for 175 yards, 0 touchdowns, and two interceptions. In his second and final season, he played in 10 games while starting in six. He threw for 1,500 yards, seven touchdowns, and five interceptions, while adding 230 rushing yards.

Following his sophomore season, the Browns released him for multiple reasons. One of them was that he lied to the coach about a video of him that surfaced on the internet.

The documetary on Manziel will likely highlight his success in college, his downs in the NFL, and life after football. It might make for an interesting watch.
