Johnny Manziel poses for photo with child at hospital

Johnny Manziel is no stranger to social media controversy.

Since winning the Heisman Trophy last month, Manziel has drawn criticism over several photos and tweets.

In a nod to his critics, the 20-year-old Texas A&M quarterback tweeted a photo of himself at a Connecticut hospital on Friday. Manziel was shown holding Monopoly money with his new friend.

As a point of reference, Manziel posted this photo on his Instagram account last weekend.

Manziel recently described the challenges associated with his newfound fame.

"It's tough knowing that everything you do is watched pretty closely because I'm doing the same stuff I've always done. It's just now people actually care what I do," he said Sunday as he and several other college football award winners met with the media at the Harbor Beach Marriott.

"It's hard to watch some of the stuff that people say to you when you take a picture or you do some stuff or you're at these games or whatever. It's tough to sit back, and you can't really defend yourself regardless of how much you want to scream out, 'I've been doing this forever. This is nothing new for me.'"
