Why watch this film?
It was in 2012 when rookie and short-statured defender Johnny Football became one of the most attention-grabbing names in American football across the United States. Focused on the field, he was also known for his partying ways off it. However, gradually, as fame and money took center stage in Johnny Manziel's life - the real name of Johnny Football -, things started going off track. This is the story of Untold: Johnny Football, the new documentary in Netflix's film series about bizarre stories (and unconventional characters) in sports. With surprising candor, Manziel talks about the scandals that accumulated in his history, alongside sincere testimonies from his family, coaches, ex-best friend, and agent.
