I find this to be totally believable, the fact that Jameis didn’t snitch on the Publix employee when he could have easily thrown him under the bus is quite noble.
Jameis basically took the fall (I think I know why). Until this video came out, he didn’t mention once he was given the crab legs simply because he was Jameis Winston.

Jameis was talking to Jim Harbaugh about how to handle interviews from NFL teams when the revelation was made. It is not unusual for star college athletes to get free stuff, it is a NCAA violation which may explain why Jameis never mentioned it publicly, but interesting nevertheless.
