As adolescents, it's natural to not take anything seriously from your teachers, coaches or parents. Usually, everything is funny among your peers. And because you can't relate to the next level of life, hindsight is a painful thing to have once you get there. If there was one person who probably is utilizing the hindsight feature of life, it's Johnny Manziel.

Although it can't correlate to the normal adult and their adolescent experience, Manziel will live to tell young college stars it's best to listen to the support system once you turn pro.

Manziel is currently not playing any football. At all. As a first-round selection for the Cleveland Browns in 2014, Manziel was drafted to deliver similar results from his Texas A&M collegiate days. In two years in College Station, Manziel would win a Heisman Trophy and cement himself as a college football legend.

But a lack of taking in the details to be successful that he glossed over at A&M, would plague him with Cleveland. His teammates and the coaching staff tried to encourage him to take the game serious, but Manziel preferred to party. If you look at his stats in his two years there, it shows.

In his rookie season in five games, he accumulated 175 yards passing to two interceptions. In his final season in 2015, Manziel progressed with 1500 yards, throwing seven touchdowns to five interceptions in ten games. However, as the end of the season approached, Manziel had more than worn out his welcome.

A video surfaced of Manziel partying during a bye week, and his consequence was a demotion to third-string. He would soon gain his job back, leading the Browns to a late-season victory over the San Fransisco 49ers. But a concussion that sidelined him for the last game of the season strangely led him to Las Vegas instead of treatment.

When you add in a domestic violence claim in February of 2016, the Browns clearly have seen enough. By the next month, Manziel was released.

So what happened to Manziel's career? A few things stick out. As aforementioned, Manziel didn't realize the rigors required to succeed in the NFL. While he showed flashes of brilliance stemming from his collegiate years, the NFL requires consistency.

To get consistency, it takes the willingness to want to be prepared physically and mentally. Manziel opted for the nightlife over the grind life. In theory, for someone of the pedigree that Manziel was born with, it's an easy decision to go with. But to succeed in the professional setting required Manziel to get out of his comfort zone.

But in the end, it was Manziels unwillingness to shift from perception to reality that hurt his Browns career in the end. Someone of Manziel's status-growing up in wealth will get cut more breaks than the average man. Had Manziel had been a man from the middle class, he probably would be more aware of the numerous chances he received. However, despite pleas from his surrounding circle and colleagues, Manziel wasn't reciprocative to their advice. He thought his name and talent could carry him through adversity. As he found out, having resiliency more than remedies that problem.

Maybe life came too fast for Manziel. At age 19, his life changed forever, and for someone who already had enough, now had everything. Going into Cleveland at 21, Manziel probably looks back and thinks he should have utilized all support. But he's not too young, or mortal to have to utilize the hindsight feature that we all are given as we get older.
