Mixed in with them will be the guys who are the Brett Farve love the game guys - players who really just want to play. It's not a job, it's a game. These groups of players are going to stick up for him and accuse his critics as just being haters.
Other players, the guys who work their craft, who see football as a job and think the best way to succeed is to be team first/individual second, are going to HATE him - even if he is successful on the field.
Admittedly, I don't know much about the guy, but everything I see about him points to a selfish, entitled personality for which I have a baseline dislike. Pretty sure I would be one of those who thought "He better be really damn good and then I will only tolerate him."
Manziel and Griffin? Not even close.

For a second I thought once he became a professional he would cease some of the "act"...now Im realizing this is who he is really is...he is like the messiah of douchebags.
A guy who puts a stack of money up to his ear like its a phone and actually speaks into it is the douchebag prophet.
