Ha ha - good article on LWOS on "The Two Johnnies". Guess which one has adjusted to the world of professional sports the best?
Quote:
Manziel was drafted in 2014 in the first round with the 22nd pick overall by the Cleveland Browns. Gaudreau was drafted in 2011 in the fourth round with the 104th pick by the Calgary Flames. Both won the highest honours in their respective collegiate sporting leagues.
Manziel won the Heisman Trophy in 2012 for being “the outstanding college football player whose performance best exhibits the pursuit of excellence with integrity. Winners epitomize great ability combined with diligence, perseverance, and hard work.”
Gaudreau won the Hobey Baker Award, college hockey’s equivalent of the Heisman, in 2014 for being “the NCAA player who best exhibits strength of character both on and off the ice and contributes to the integrity of the team and displays outstanding skills in all phases of the game”.

It’s pretty amazing how far in the opposite direction the two Johnnys have travelled in their young careers.
Gaudreau hasn’t been attacked by the media in Calgary. Swarmed? Yes. It might be totally different if he was on the east coast but he’s in Cowtown where it’s pretty easy living. Most of it is because he’s adjusted in a very responsible and mature way to the next level. That’s something his counterpart has failed to do.
