If anything, Manziel could be guilty of "affluence."

 

But as far as wealthy athletes go, all that means is that he's got a head start on his peers.  He was "going Gronk" in college, probably high school.

 

Contrast that with Ted, who his own mother nicknamed "Bobby Boucher"... well, I don't think race has a bit to do with their perceptions as young "adults."

 

Manziel clearly has an unpredictable "edge" to him, and Ted is the antithesis of that.  He comes off more as momma's boy.  A homebody.

 

Again, that's nothing that can be pinned on race whatsoever.
