7. Johnny Manziel

Johnny Manziel comes into the NFL as one of the biggest divas in college sports. He got away with getting paid for his autograph (half a game suspension? Ha!). He got away with being too drunk to perform at Peyton Manning’s football camp. He got away with a variety of things in college.

Manziel then went to the NFL and is now trying that same act there. He is finding things different as a professional.

Manziel flipped the bird in a preseason game against Washington, and he got dinged $12,000 for it. He spent some of training camp partying it up, while Brad Hoyer spent his time working on the playbook and, surprise, Hoyer ended up winning the starting quarterback job for the Cleveland Browns.

Manziel says he will not change for anyone, not even for the NFL. That’s fine. If he doesn’t work on improving, however, he will be another in a long line of players who thought they could be bigger than the NFL and found out otherwise.
