Louisville quarterback and Heisman Trophy Winner Lamar Jackson is on top of the sports world. After winning college football’s most coveted award Saturday night, he spent some time hanging with fellow Heisman winner Johnny Manziel. Sounds like a recipe for disaster right? Maybe not.
Jackson is making the media rounds Monday morning and stopped by The Dan Patrick Show and spoke with Dan and the Danettes. When asked about spending time with Manziel, Jackson said:
Johnny Manziel, he was telling me a lot of positive things. He told me, ‘Man, have fun in college, you can only stay here a certain amount of time, have fun with it.’
Jackson is only 19 years old, all of this new found celebrity will be a lot for the young man to process. Hopefully he can learn both the good and bad from others that came before him. He should heed Manziel’s advice and enjoy his time in college. He should also use Manziel as a cautionary tale and remember “fun” has its limits, and there is a price to pay when you exceed those limits.
Video of Jackson and Manziel hanging in a NYC hotel has surfaced courtesy of TMZ. Check it out below.
