Johnny Manziel is a Heisman winner and an "all-American" looking quarterback, which is one reason why he is a target by many online and in social media and that happened again on Tuesday, as people started writing to him on Twitter about a tattoo picture he posted.
According to Yahoo Sports, Manziel posted a picture of himself shirtless with friends, revealing a Texas Longhorns logo tattoo. Of course, Manziel is the quarterback at Texas A&M, where he won the Heisman after having a record-setting season.
Manziel got into it with some fans online and later debunked the story, writing: "FAKE tattoo.."
Manziel got some responses from fans, like "@JManziel2 I don't believe you, all you're is a liar and a cheat" and "Ah yes, but was the douchebag it was on fake as well I wonder? RT @JManziel2: FAKE tattoo..." He was goaded into responding, going back and forth, saying: "BamaBane tell your mom I said wassup."
Manziel had a few other responses, including "@BabyfaceBrutha you know nothing about me homie...hop off" and "@MildKyle yeah man 150 pesos is a ton..hopefully i can afford it."
Manziel has received a lot of attention since winning the Heisman and this is just one aspect of that. The internet is filled with trolls that love to push the buttons of athletes and that's what happened here.

Manziel began his Texas A&M career as a redshirt, but took over the starting job for the first game of the season, a 20-17 loss to then-No. 24 ranked Florida. The Aggies then went on to win five straight games, including a 70-14 win over South Carolina State. The team scored at least 48 points in four of those games and Manziel had over 500 yards of total offense on his own in a 58-10 win over Arkansas.
Manziel busted out onto the scene out of nowhere this year and was by far the most explosive player in college football. He threw for 3,419 yards and 24 touchdowns to go along with 1,181 yards rushing and 19 touchdowns. He set a new SEC record for total yards and led the Aggies to a 10-win season for the first time in over a decade.
The Aggies finished the season on a hot streak, winning five straight games, including the victory over Alabama and a 59-29 thrashing of Missouri in the regular-season finale. Manziel had five total touchdowns in the game and passed for 372 yards to cap off his record breaking year.
