Johnny Manziel Shows Maturity Dealing With Online Troll

Johnny Manziel doesn't seem overly interested in slap fights with online trolls.

Manziel is back in the news after he did an awesome in-depth interview with Shannon Sharpe about his rise and fall.

The lengthy interview covered his pretty much every facet of his life, including how he flamed out with the Browns. One of the more notable parts was Manziel claiming he didn't have a good relationship with former teammate Brian Hoyer.

Johnny Manziel masterfully handles online troll.

Hoyer has since responded saying his issue was with management - not Manziel. Well, a random person decided to hop online and take some shots at Manziel of their own.

". @JManziel2 sucks. At football and as a person," X user @RyanLouisIV tweeted at the Browns QB. Instead of getting into a petty fight like he might have done years ago while spiraling downward, Johnny Football actually showed some solid maturity with his response.

"Go Browns brotha. Let all that hate out of your heart…life is more pure that way [praying emoji]," the former NFL QB and Heisman winner responded. Let me know what you think of that response at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.

Multiple JFF fans also appeared to appreciate his response to the online troll.

There's really no point in arguing with random online trolls. It can be fun to get in the mud online from time to time, but it's only worth doing if it's someone notable.

Why should Manziel burn time or energy arguing with some random guy on X who thinks he's a loser? Johnny Manziel earned the Heisman and was a first round pick.

Even though his NFL career was a bust, the man accomplished more in sports than virtually all other humans walking the planet. The idea someone is going to come at him on X calling him a horrible football player and human is honestly hilarious.
