I know how it turned out in the nfl and in his personal life, but he was one of the most exciting/electric qbs ever in college football. And it was a hell of a ride to watch
As a Duke fan that went to this game, this was hard to relive, especially knowing that everything went downhill after this game. Rest in piece to the photographer who had a heart attack running onto the field after the game.
I feel like if he would've stayed the two more years in college he woulda been the #1 pick in the 2016 draft. He would've been the perfect personality at the Quarterback position for LA. He also could've learned behind Keenum for a bit. But if he woulda kept up this production for those two other years, while polishing himself as a passer, and maturing...he could've ended up as an outstanding pro. He also could have won a natty eventually, maybe even a 2nd heisman. But it'll only be what could've been. Hopefully he becomes a great Canadian player so he can make a comeback to the NFL.
Kameron Lord manziel deserves shit. He has been handed everything in his life. Don’t forget, he threw to MIKE EVANS. Yes, he is a good athlete. I never liked his game, and he didn’t win enough games. I compare him to Christian hackenberg as a freshman. He was a surefire 1st round pick in the NFL after that freshman season...or so they say. Don’t forget he was throwing to Allen Robinson. Manziel doesn’t have an arm, and most importantly, he doesn’t have any brains. I’m all for second chances, but not in his case. I can’t believe there are people whom watch the game of football and actually believe he has a snowballs chance of making it back to the NFL.
He had 4 linemen, 2 RBs and 2 WRs that went to the NFL from just the 2 seasons he played. The Aggies have only had 5 offensive players drafted since the 2020 draft. He had more offensive weapons/blockers than A&M has ever had. When people are desperate to make an excuse, they sometimes sound absolutely delusional. Delusional or just plain stupid.
@randylahey345 Calm down man, Evens is the only one that has done anything as far as offensive weapons are concerned. Even those that went to the NFL didn't produce much once they got there. In talking about Anias, Achane, Spiller, and the defense isn't even in the same league. The D during the Johnny years wasn't even Big 12 level.
That’s wild now that I think of it, Manziels senior year would’ve been the 2015-16 season, that’s the year Derrick Henry & Alabama won the national championship, A&M went 16-10 in the timeframe that would’ve been his JR & SR year, A&M went 16-10 with 3 quarterbacks all fighting for playing time (Kenny Hill) (Kyle Allen) (Kyler Murray) with Manziel they would’ve got to the SEC Championship at least once.
Incredible talent, shame he wasted it for so long, Im glad he's straightened out, and holding himself accountable to professionalism and the game now.. Hopefully he can get back to this form again.. Its going to take some time
I'm saying. Now schools traditionally known as smaller less competing schools(UCF, HOUSTON, MEMPHIS) are questioning how we do the playoff. 10 or even 5 years ago we would have never thought about letting them compete for a championship.
Big C they should be able to try, i think an 8 team playoff would work and let some smaller schools have a chance. Im a lsu fan but i love an underdog, it makes it interesting to me.
75kyle As long as it's THE 8 BEST TEAMS( a 3 loss conference champion isn't getting in). It would be the 8 BEST teams in the nation. The first 4 games are played at the top 4 seeds home field then the semifinal is a bowl game like normal and then the neutral site championship like normal.
The most exciting college football player ever. With the right team and coach, he would pack the stands with fans and increase TV ratings, which the NFL desparately needs.
Ace Daniels yea watching this game u can see what nfl scouts seen in him he just didn’t live up to the hype lest see if he can live up to the hype in the comeback
I guess Manziel wouldn't have to do so much if the Aggies defense could have stopped Duke from scoring. I guess it was the Aggies defense that stopped them from being ranked in the Top 5 that season.
I ain't gon lie I can see why some people didnt like Manziel attitude, doing the money sign thing and stuff but man you cant tell me you didnt get entertainment watching this dude play
Jeremy Mendoza Baylor never really got a penalty. No team other than SMU has received the “Death Penalty” and no other team will likely receive that penalty ever again. Schools may get close but that wiped SMU off the face of the earth.
Mark Dudley hell no, the death penalty is what the ncaa needs to fix college athletics. They should have brought the hammer down on the universities caught in the fbi probe. But they won't risk destroying their money makers.
Anthony Lopez I wouldn't necessarily say that. The Duke teams in both 2013 and 2014 were special teams, no doubt. Remember that Duke was back in the top 20 the year after this but unfortunately losses to VT and UNC back to back weeks knocked them out of a 2nd straight ACC title game appearance. Then they nearly beat Arizona State in the Sun Bowl. 2015, they slipped back a little (as expected honestly) but got their first bowl win since 1961 in the Pinstripe Bowl. 2016, the injury bug eats them alive and finish 4-8, and it felt like a disappointing season, which is weirdly a backhanded compliment in regards to what Coach Cut has done with the program. What used to be considered a great success was now a disappointing season, finishing 4-8. Last year, they had that promising 4-0 start before losing 6 in a row, but won their last two to become bowl eligible and won their bowl game convincingly. And they were only blown out twice in that losing streak. Now they're back in the top 25, so we'll see how far they can take it because now they're getting more talented recruits coming in to the program. It'll be interesting to see how far they can go! P.S. Harris Highlights, you should make a highlight video of the 2015 Pinstripe Bowl where Duke did break the bowl win drought seeing it was one of only 3 or 4 really good postseason games that year
@@MSU-DetroitFan I think it would have been 1 Florida State vs 4 Alabama and 2 Auburn vs 3 Michigan State if the playoff had started that year. They would have put MSU over Bama since they won their conference and to avoid Alabama vs Auburn rematching in the semi
If he could have just kept his head on straight and stayed in college a few more years to mature as both a person and player he might have been the greatest CFB player ever. He was entertaining to watch play when he was on his game and he shined in the big games
A & M's D sure shit the bed. Thank god Johnny still had game then. I want him to succeed. He's a good dude. Tragic Montreal game on Friday. Johnny let's get er back son. Time to re group again.
This is just sad because he was a bust in the NFL do to being a spoiled boy in a man's body. Just showed what being a ritch kid with everything will do with his amazing talent. ....blow it!!!
The song "Power" (@Texas A&M Univ.) is played as the football team entrance piece just prior to kick-off for the AGGIES at Kyle Field. Some are claiming.."yeah, it's racially slurred and profane, but we don't sing the lyrics"- "It's just an instrumental". Others, "We play the clean version its just a brief hype piece" If not for those horrendous lyrics, this song never would have existed. I suppose a posted/announced disclaimer at Kyle Field is in order? It's saddening and confusing the lengths some people will take to try and justify the existence of something that reflects so poorly on TX A&M. One of the chief obstacles to progressive change here is the fact that so few Aggies are even aware of the lyrics. That will change. What if the song contained lyrics promoting cop killing? Or encouraged the resumption of slavery? Or the abuse of children? The dissemination of AR15's? Would an "instrumental version" remain acceptable and appropriate knowing full well what those lyrics are? Are there any lines that can't be crossed today? Based on the former OU coach who recently resigned and the backlash created by the spectator at a BYU volleyball game, the data suggests there are. Musician Morgan Wallen was barred from the ACM award function just last year for using a racial slur. Recognize, trust and believe the data. Some things are just not acceptable. Others have suggested it's OK for a person of color to use these shameful and hurtful slurs and others can't...is this not racist in itself? Think long and hard about that one. That's a confusing and dangerous road to take. It's not OK. Learning to respect yourself might make respecting others an easier choice. I wonder what Dr. King's thoughts would be on this notion? Apply a little dose of tough love? Regardless, the extreme profanity with MF-bombs, references to sexual acts and organs in the song's lyrics should make the decision an easy one. Yeah, it's chocked full of beneficial goodness. The selection of such a crude song is very perplexing. At best. It's tradition now, but does that make it any less toxic and inappropriate? Google the lyrics...you'll be shocked. A state supported institution no less... One that prides itself on producing leaders.. Are $$$ and wins the priority here over common decency? Perhaps there wasn't an over-riding scheme/intent behind the decision maker's selection. If there was, the selection of this song in particular is somewhat distressing. Regardless of its popularity. We ought to be better than this. Our core values.....are some departments exempt perhaps? The AGGIE CODE of HONOR: "Is an effort to unify the aims of all Texas A&M men and women toward a high code of ethics and personal dignity ". Do we have a somewhat disturbing disconnect here? Are you a parent? Need to walk the talk IMO. Would there be any negative consequences if another song, lyrically devoid of racial slurs and profanity was chosen as a replacement? A&M has an optimal opportunity here at becoming part of the answer, not the problem. Tough love for Texas A&M...we are better than this. Gigem
Parker t who would be good on the Browns the last 40 years ? Tom Brady wouldn’t have done shit on the Browns . Yes they’re good this year but it took 50 years
If he would have stayed hemay have grown up n done better in NFL. I remember an interview he gave n said he would be better than Tebow in NFL but that was a lie also cuz he was nothing n at least Tim tried his heart out! God Bless
I just cant see how his skill set will translate to the NFL, especially if he gets a ton of money, paties, alcohol, Vegas, etc.......? Nope I just cant see it happening.
If Houston Texans drafted him #1 overall he would've been something to behold. This world is all about systematic, faithless , kill the spirit. And Johnny football is all about playmaking, faith, spirit on the field. Looks dumb now , but Lord knows Houston sports is for chumps. Hopefully Westbrook can change that. #FAITHBABY #JAKEDOGGYROSE
Which performance would you like to see remembered next?
Harris Highlights Jamie’s Winston’s vs college game
No do Deondre Francois first start. Since that was also a comeback lol
Grayson Lambert breaking completion percentage record
McCaffrey (prob spelled wrong) vs Iowa 2015 Rose Bowl
Sean Taylor
Miss these days. Minus his off-field actions, this guy was my football idol
He befriended a 6-yr-old cancer victim (Charlie) via a family friend & wore a yellow plastic wristband w/the kid's name on it plus a Bible verse on it when asked by the boy's mom. Johnny spent his bye-week Sat. visiting the little boy - whom he did not know - in a Houston hospital while the other A&M players went home. At the Heisman trophy presentation, the reporters asked him to remove the band for photos - to which Johnny said NO! He even got Coach Sumlin to wear one and I bet he got some of the other A&M players to wear one and support Charlie. Johnny also did a fund raiser for the little boy and invited his family to come to the NLF draft w/him! Johnny was asked to be in a charity fund raiser modeling clothes and little Charlie was right by his side going down the runway! Johnny - as you notice from the video - always gave God the glory for his feats- pointing up to heaven! There's no other quarterback that I know of that comes close!
@@nancys3154 it’s sad what he could of been but his lifestyle ruined him
@@thatonepriest69 "What he could've been"
No. It's who he was. Mental health is a serious struggle.
I know how it turned out in the nfl and in his personal life, but he was one of the most exciting/electric qbs ever in college football. And it was a hell of a ride to watch
One of the greatest CFB players ever
Couldn’t win games.
Lil Boat Lost 2 games his freshman year. Where’s your head at???
CFB=Canadian Football cuz he wasn’t worth dick in the NFL.
Lil Boat explain this then plus beat bama twice
Paul Patina IV someone needs to slap your momma for that comment.
As a Duke fan that went to this game, this was hard to relive, especially knowing that everything went downhill after this game. Rest in piece to the photographer who had a heart attack running onto the field after the game.
As an Alabama fan, I got tired of him very quickly. He’s an outstanding quarterback!
TMW1 Games I’m an Alabama fan too and I actually wish him a lot of luck trying to get back into the NFL
Yeah. I do too. Hope he makes it. He was incredible.
TMW1 Games so did your defense
TEAM CLASSIC SONIC What do you mean? Our defense got tired of him?
TMW1 Games They got tired trying to chase him
wish he stayed another year
He was one of a kind
I feel like if he would've stayed the two more years in college he woulda been the #1 pick in the 2016 draft. He would've been the perfect personality at the Quarterback position for LA.

Kameron Lord .... Nice ;) go Johnny football.... .
He threw 4 int's in the first half of his first game and got pulled for the 4th qtr. Unfortunate.
..... Hey right on bro ;)

Also, he would have been more mature and better equipped emotionally to deal with the pressures of the NFL.
I wanted Duke to win this game so bad, but man, you can't help but be impressed by Manziel.
i miss these days of a&m
He really had a great recieving core. Evans and Walker are both unreal pro receivers.
Imagine Johnny with the weapons that the Ags have now. Scary! He had Evans, and some others, but the D wasn't much.
He had 4 linemen, 2 RBs and 2 WRs that went to the NFL from just the 2 seasons he played. The Aggies have only had 5 offensive players drafted since the 2020 draft. He had more offensive weapons/blockers than A&M has ever had. When people are desperate to make an excuse, they sometimes sound absolutely delusional. Delusional or just plain stupid.

God he was good. I miss this player. And I'm a Longhorn.
imagine if he played those 2 remaining years. would of been the best CFB QB ever. (if he isnt already)
he should've stayed in college, would've been a better pro
That’s wild now that I think of it, Manziels senior year would’ve been the 2015-16 season, that’s the year Derrick Henry & Alabama won the national championship, A&M went 16-10 in the timeframe that would’ve been his JR & SR year, A&M went 16-10 with 3 quarterbacks all fighting for playing time (Kenny Hill) (Kyle Allen) (Kyler Murray) with Manziel they would’ve got to the SEC Championship at least once.

Duke was ranked??
Jerry Yeah they were actually pretty good that year but ran into Florida State and got massacred in the ACC Championship game
Dang, time goes by fast man lol

In 2012 he shredded a great Bama defense and won. Even though he lost the next year, he put up huge numbers!
The most exciting college football player ever. With the right team and coach, he would pack the stands with fans and increase TV ratings, which the NFL desparately needs.
This game was 2013 in a nutshell for A&M: No defense but just Manziel and offense. Works for Duke but not against Alabama, Auburn, LSU, etc.
Always gotta come back to these videos and fw Johnny boy was slicker than grease 😂🦅
I wish he would’ve stayed just one more year
Manziel & Evans sheesh what a team
Not going to lie I see the promise this guy had (has).
Ace Daniels yea watching this game u can see what nfl scouts seen in him he just didn’t live up to the hype lest see if he can live up to the hype in the comeback
U can see the arm strength and and accuracy on some of these throws
Ace Daniels same I hope he gets back to Johnny football status
Drugs are bad, mmkay.
*had
Cool & composed in the backfield, super confident, its a shame to see how he is today :(
Man I miss these days so bad. CFB just doesn’t feel the same
Reggie Bush last game at USC
the greatest taco yes!
That was the 2006 Rose Bowl against Texas which has been covered to death on this channel lol
and he didn't really even play that game either smh
I’m in love with Johnny…
He was the funnest Qb to ever watch play in my opinion!!
I guess Manziel wouldn't have to do so much if the Aggies defense could have stopped Duke from scoring. I guess it was the Aggies defense that stopped them from being ranked in the Top 5 that season.
The defense cost both against Alabama and Auburn for sure in 2013. The offense was nearly unstoppable
I remember watching this game and could not understand how pathetic A & M’s defense was! I mean we are talking Duke here, not an SEC team!
I ain't gon lie I can see why some people didnt like Manziel attitude, doing the money sign thing and stuff but man you cant tell me you didnt get entertainment watching this dude play
I was there and it was crazy to see in person. Dude was crazy.
The Vince Young game vs USC
I was in Las Vegas when this game was going on. I was pretty tipsy.
4:00 this play deserved better commentary
This man Mr Johnny Football did win the Heisman as a freshman!!!
Great player just has to get back in his lane!!!

At first I just seen Johnny Manziel insane comeback, then I seen it was duke, and I was like seriously
There will never be another Johnny Football... and that sucks

"Texas a&m is now the team of Texas." Isn't this the year baylor went 11-1 and won the big 12 championship?

Jeremy Mendoza Baylor never really got a penalty. No team other than SMU has received the “Death Penalty” and no other team will likely receive that penalty ever again. Schools may get close but that wiped SMU off the face of the earth.
CrimsonViking Maybe not officially, but death penalty in that they lost their star QB and any other future star prospects from that investigation.
Who's Baylor? Noone cares about Baylor, they're like Iowa St.

I was in LA getting ready to go to Pasadena for the Rose Bowl between Stanford and Michigan State

Leslie Thompson hopefully..i want him to get a 2nd a chance he was fun to watch
A&M isn’t too fond of you either
Couldn't compete at all on the big stage.
Jesus loves you
Johnny's problem in the pros is he never needed the money. He grew up rich. Once he stopped liking football it all didn't matter.
The only thing I regret is that I never played with Johnny manzel with the cowboys. HATE ME
Iconic college player.
Total bust afterwards.
Totally screwed the pooch.
And left rug burns.
He always looked as if he was playing backyard football
This is just sad because he was a bust in the NFL do to being a spoiled boy in a man's body. Just showed what being a ritch kid with everything will do with his amazing talent. ....blow it!!!

damn he got a win?
He should have stayed one more year
Two more years
Trevor Lawrence has already played two more games then him
Mans ruined it all with off field antics
the second coming of condredge holloway, but a better passing arm.
Little did they know money and fame would take away Johnny football
The winning TD??
you tell me aside from baker having a stronger arm...why this isn't the same dude
And then he went on to not even be good enough for the Browns
Parker t who would be good on the Browns the last 40 years ? Tom Brady wouldn’t have done shit on the Browns . Yes they’re good this year but it took 50 years
Did Aggie Manziel learn French while in a Montreal? Asking for a friend.
Back when people played bowl games

Johnny Football!.....What happened?
No longer Johnny football....... throwing 4 interceptions in the first half of his first game in the CFL.
Too bad he’s a total liability. Dude had magic.
It's a shame his attitude doesn't equal his talents
He had a talent and potential though…
And wasted it
I just cant see how his skill set will translate to the NFL, especially if he gets a ton of money, paties, alcohol, Vegas, etc.......? Nope I just cant see it happening.
Wait, a&m beat THE duke blue devils. Wow
Tamu has been undoubtedly a way better football team than duke in recent years
That tells you something don’t get drafted to the browns they go threw quarterback like it ain’t nothing
imagine how much money he would make in this day of college football
I though the same thing 2 second before I read this comment
Looks like a little roach when you turn the kitchen lights on
Manziel was a great football player but didn't have mentality to be a professional. Will always just be the best QB at BBQ now.
If Houston Texans drafted him #1 overall he would've been something to behold. This world is all about systematic, faithless , kill the spirit.
And Johnny football is all about playmaking, faith, spirit on the field.
Looks dumb now , but Lord knows Houston sports is for chumps. Hopefully Westbrook can change that.
