A decade ago, the world watched as a barely-6-foot redshirt freshman quarterback at Texas A&M took college football by storm with his flair for the dramatic, backyard style of playing and a Lone Star-sized ego to match.

The phenomenon known as "Johnny Football" is highlighted in a new Netflix documentary premiering Friday, and in the first 10 minutes you see different sides of Johnathan Paul Manziel – the unbelievable talent that lifted the Aggies to a never-before-seen spotlight, the party boy, the blunt truth-teller, and the regretful and flawed human being that knows no bounds, especially when mistakes are made in the public eye.
