Emmitt Smith on Manziel: “It's Either the Nightlife or His Career”

Hall of Fame running back Emmitt Smith believes Johnny Manziel has a decision to make: The NFL or the nightlife he’s been so openly fond of.

The NFL’s All-Time Leading Rusher delivered that message last Friday on an edition of PFT Live from Radio Row in San Francisco, and insists it is that simple.

“… It’s either the nightlife or his career. Just that simple,” Smith said. “I think every player comes to that crossroad. It’s either the nightlife, the streets, or your career. I chose my career and I think a lot of players choose their career as well. Some don’t. He needs to get it. He may be a guy that already has enough, if you will, but you have to be hungry.

“You gotta be willing to sacrifice certain parts of your life.”
