Just how seriously is Johnny Manziel taking his leap to the NFL Draft? Well, he's not going to be in attendance for the Super Bowl.

You'd expect Manziel take up being offered a trip to MetLife Stadium, which he was, according to NFL.com senior analyst Gil Brandt. The man was eating pizza with Walebefore officially declaring for the draft after all. Plus, this is the Super Bowl. It looks like Manziel is growing up though:

Super Bowl + Manziel seem perfect match but rep I spoke w yesterday says Manziel won't be making NYC appearance. Working out instead.

That's a good move on Manziel's part. Just like Drake has to hit the studio to be Drake, Manziel has to put in that work especially if he doesn't want to be known as Manziel the Bust. He and many other quarterbacks are currently in San Diego to train with private quarterback coach George Whitfield Jr.
