The internet was buzzing Saturday with a circulated picture of what seemed to be an overweight Jameis Winston. Well his QB coach, George Whitfield, caught the wind and have come to his defense.
“The photo of Jameis was taken in early-mid January,” Whitfield said by phone. “If people are saying he looks out of shape – well, did they notice he had the leash tight around his waist? That may have had something to do with it,” he laughed. “Jameis is in shape and doing great. Anyone saying he’s out of shape, they can check him out at the Combine this week.”
The coaches have supplied a better picture of what Winston looks like.

Jameis Winston is expected to be at the combine this week, but reports have stated, he’s not going to throw. The Bucs have recently released Josh McCown which opens them up to chose a QB with the number one pick. The question remains which QB does the Bucs choose, Mariota or Winston?
