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.

But that's what they do, Jase. We know this. We've known this.
For good or ill, it's the system we live in. A lot of athletes know how to game it to their advantage (or have handlers -- whom they listen to -- who tell them how to game it to their advantage) and they keep their heads down for the most part and their highlights sparkling while keeping their eyes on the prize: that big NFL payday.
Some, like Julio, never seem to forget the lessons they learned in college and remain out of the spotlight while still working their hardest and they see the fruits of their labor early. Pro bowls and the like. Some, like Roddy White, ride the brink until they finally get their (personal) act together.
Some flame out as soon as they get there, but the point is that they made it there.
