Yahoo - Johnny Manziel responds to the post-Heisman spotlight with a nearly perfect C

[Jenni Carlson]

ARLINGTON, Texas -- As impressive as Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel was during the Cotton Bowl -- and there haven't been many more impressive bowl performances as long as they've been playing college football -- he was just as good afterward. While we know pretty much everything we need to know about Manziel as a quarterback, we don't know much about Manziel off the field yet. He wasn't allowed to speak to the media for most of the season because of coach Kevin Sumlin's policy on freshmen. He's flashy on the field and has the catchy Johnny Football nickname, so maybe there's a notion that he's cocky off the field. All I can tell you about Manziel is this: He handled himself as well as any quarterback could in the post-game media interviews following Texas A&M's 41-13 win over Oklahoma. He deflected all hints of praise while maintaining a confident aura, which isn't easy to pull off. That is especially impressive considering how much fame was heaped on him before he turned 20 years old less than a month ago.
