Despite torching Alabama for 562 yards on Saturday, Johnny Manziel still has a long way to go to win over NFL scouts.

In his column today, Peter King of SI passed along this note about about what NFL people think of Johnny Football:


"Mood swings" and "off-field questions" are pretty abstract critiques. But King helped explain what he means by that in a follow-up tweet.

Basically, he says NFL teams think Manziel parties too much:

Manziel's partying habits are well documented. The Internet is full of photos of him having a good time all over North America.

In addition, Manziel's father told ESPN's Wright Thompson that he worried about his son's drinking, and revealed that Johnny saw an alcohol counselor during his Heisman-winning season in 2012.

When Manziel left the Manning Passing Academy early this summer, many speculated that he was hungover— which Manziel has denied.

While Johnny Football appears to party about as much as your average frat boy, NFL teams apparently aren't buying the "he's just a college kid" excuse.
