Johnny Manziel turns off at least one NFL scout

10:42 AM ET?07.21 | The NFL's summer production of "Men Behaving Badly" apparently has trickled down to the college ranks as well, with the news that Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel recently "departed early" from the annual Manning Passing Academy after some sort of alleged indiscretion. The situation did not escape the attention of NFL scouts, who have begun to more closely assess the reigning Heisman Trophy winner, given reports that he could leave the Aggies' program early and enter the 2014 draft. It's difficult to get a read on how scouts assess the physical talents of "Johnny Football" at this point, because he hasn't been scrutinized as closely yet as he now will, and because scouts aren't permitted to speak for attribution about potential underclass prospects. But the alleged escapades at the Manning camp, and Manziel's performance at the SEC media days last week, piqued the interest of some league personnel people. "I was especially interested in his comments about being just a '20-year-old' kid," said one regional scout who primarily works the SEC schools. "I'm tired of that excuse. If I had (Manziel) in an interview, and (suggested) to him that he was just a kid, he probably wouldn't react well. He's a 20-year-old man, he'd (protest). Well, he needs to start acting like one." The scout quickly emphasized that, his personal feelings aside, the lack of maturity exhibited by Manziel probably wouldn't greatly affect his draft status, if he's in the lottery. "But it did," he said, "turn me off some."
