There’s been a lot of criticism surrounding Johnny Manziel and his supposed heavy partying.  While most people like Emmitt Smith insist Manziel should stop, Jets running back Chris Johnson tells Manziel to do what he wants.

Johnson was also asked what advice he’d have for a fun-loving rookie like Manziel.

Be your own man,” Johnson said, via Dom Cosentino of NJ.com.  “Do what you got to do.  It’s the offseason.  That’s when you get time to do whatever you want to do and live your life.  I’m pretty sure once the season gets here, he’ll be all right.  He’s going to focus in on football.  But this is the time now to where he’ll be able to hang out and do some of the things you want to do.  Because once the season gets here, you really have no life.  It’s just football and football.”

It seems to me that Manziel’s “lifestyle” is being a bit overblown.  The media is keeping a watchful eye on him, more so than other players.  If the season starts and he doesn’t slow down then it’s time to worry.
