There are tons of college football players that are "just a collge kid"...he should be able to as well.
And when they frick up, it's made a big deal of.
I'll grant you that it's not as big a deal as with a Heisman winner, but it's a big deal. It gets a text link on ESPN or the local paper and gets posted on tRant, where rival fans casty and tut-tut about the death penalty, TPOSes and Fulmer Cup points.
Face it. A large amount of high-profile players of all ages have handled the spotlight with far more aplomb and maturity than Johnny has. Some have had as big a spotlight (Tebow, Cam) and some haven't.
Johnny just can't seem to handle it.

And how about the biggest spotlight any young sports star has ever had in this country.
Did LeBron ever act like this, I don't really remember but I don't think he did. And he had $80 million or so from Nike when he turned 18.
And I know the whole decision spectacle/debacle, but that was a single event and it wasn't until he was much older.
ETA: and piggi, you're super jel

For whatever reason (and there are multiple reasons) JFF just pushes the meter. Because of this, ESPN is going to exploit JFF for every second of airtime it can possibly squeeze out of him.
Nguyening wasn't far off in his satire - ESPN is about 1 week away from hiring a private detective to take JFF's stool sample so they can have a round table discussion and analysis of said stool.
