5. No Player is Bigger Than the Team

It takes dozens of talented players to be successful in college football. Sure, Manziel was electrifying to watch as a player, but the Aggies' success had a lot to do with how they played collectively. Every time another Manziel story comes to the surface, it reminds us again of what his goals are. To capitalize on his fame and have fun while he is "still just a 20-year-old kid."

If Manziel ends up being guilty of selling his autograph, it just goes to show that he's only interested in making the most out of his situation and doing what he can to capitalize on it.

3. To Send a Message

Texas A&M needs to send a message to the rest of the players on their team that they are only successful if they come together as a unit, and no single player is more important than they are as a team.

2. Offensive Line Key to Team's Success

Once again, it's not to say that he's not an exceptional quarterback, but Manziel's success can largely be tied to the fact that he had one of the best offensive lines in the country in 2012. Senior tackle Luke Joeckel was taken with the second-overall pick and Jake Matthews is returning for his senior season in 2013. This tandem was a force to be reckoned with and had a lot to do with how much time and space Manziel had to operate with in the backfield.

1. Lack of Focus

If Manziel is as interested in advancing his own career as it seems, it's hard to imagine he will bring the same amount of focus to the field as he did in 2012. He has already said he can't wait to get out of college and there's no reason to think he will be more focused than he was last season.
