What Are Deion Sanders's Thoughts On Manziel's Domestic Altercation?

quote:

Johnny's in love. And Johnny's in love with something that's crippling him right now. I understand it. And it upsets me that grownups don't understand it. Because he feels as though this game don't love him, the people in this game don't love him, so the only thing that he associates with love is that thing that's really inflicting a lot of pain on him and that's his girlfriend.

It's hard to be a young kid. You have to go through these trials and tribulations to find yourself and that's what he doing right now. He's trying to find himself. And I empathize with him. Johnny's girlfriend. That's his issue.

I'm not saying she is the problem. I'm saying their relationship is inflammatory.

His last two issues have been with her. Take away that and what you got?

I think a lot of the situation was handled wrong in Cleveland. I don't think they really had the infrastructure that they needed to really facilitate this kid.

At that one point the kid really had a good game and then he was benched. Do you know what that does to someone mentally and psychologically, especially dealing with what he's dealt with?
