Former college football star Johnny Manziel will be opening up like never before about his rise to fame in the newest season of Netflix’s Untold series.
The streaming platform released the first trailer for the upcoming season as the the four-part event will focus on YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul, steroids in professional sports, Manziel, and the Florida Gators football team led by Tim Tebow.
It showed a brief glimpse of Manziel’s story that revealed staggering details about his career going back to his playing days at Texas A&M University.
“I thought I played better the harder I partied,” Manziel admitted. “Nineteen-year-old kid, have a hundred grand stuffed under your bed … It was awesome.”
It also included a story that involved what was “probably a $5 million bender.”
The Heisman winner also mentions that when he got everything he ever wanted “that was the most empty I ever felt inside.”

Manziel became more known for his constant partying than his actual play on the field. The trailer also touched on that “it all changed” after Manziel won the Heisman Trophy — the first freshman to ever do so — in 2012.
He was previously arrested in 2012 on three misdemeanor charges.
“I don’t think we have seen a player play that way and live that way,” another voice says in the trailer.
The Aggies went 9-4 in Manziel’s freshman season, including a stunning 29-24 upset over No. 1 Alabama.
His NFL career never lived up to the hype he had in college as it started as a disaster and ended even worse. Two years after making him a first-round pick, the Browns released him after an ex-girlfriend accused him of assaulting her.
Manziel spent time in 2018 with the CFL’s Hamilton Tiger-Cats and Montreal Alouettes, signed with the AAF’s Memphis Express in 2019, and played for the FCF’s Zappers in 2021.
