Jameis Winston Shows Out at the Combine
Jameis Winston has made a couple things
for sure at the NFL combine, he is NFL ready and he plans to win. It started
Friday when he walked in front of a microphone and made sure everyone knew
that he was there to talk football and not about mistakes he has made in his
past. Talking about how this offseason is allowing him to grow as a football
player due to the fact this is the first time in his football career that he
has not played baseball during the spring. Telling all 32 teams he is at the
combine to earn their trust and that this is his first every job interview,
Winston was poised in front of the podium.
Winston went on to say that he is
not here to compete against other quarterbacks, he is here to show off his
talent. Talking about how he expects to win the super bowl next year, he said
he is looking forward to playing against greats like Peyton Manning and Tom
Brady. Winston left the podium looking very confident and ready to be the face
of a NFL team. People that already liked him, like him even more and people
that did not care for him felt like he is cocky. For Winston that edge might be
what he needs to take a bad team to the next level and fight for a playoff
spot.
One thing is for sure at the
combine, Winston looks like an NFL quarterback. It has been a couple years
since a true NFL ready quarterback has been available in the Draft. It is hard
to find a college quarterback that has ran a NFL style offense and is
physically ready. In 2012, Andrew Luck had everything that Winston has going
for him, which has allowed him to have a successful young NFL career.
On Saturday, during his mid-day
workout for the nation to watch, Winston proved that he has the best arm in the draft.
Teams will ask him to change small techniques here and there when he shows up
to camp but nothing major. We will see when draft day comes but I believe that
even with all of the shenanigans that go on off the field, Tampa Bay has to
draft Winston with the first pick.
