Jameis Winston’s NFL preseason debut didn’t go as well as planned. In a losing effort, Winston completed 9 of his 19 passes for 131 yards, with a large chunk of that being a 40-yard pass to Vincent Jackson and had one interception. Winston admits that things didn’t go as planned but wants the fans to know they have nothing to worry about.
“Fans, please don’t panic about one half of football. Please, there’s no reason to. We did some great things and were doing go build on that positives.”
If that wasn’t enough to put the fans at ease, Winston shared that he dreams his connection with Mike Evans would be similar to that of Joe Montana and Jerry Rice.
“I’m a big dreamer and I always tell Mike, ‘Mike: Joe Montana, Jerry Rice,’ just things like that, building our heads up,” said Winston. “They were one of the best duos of all time. But I love this game of football so much, so I try to relate me and a great receiver like him to other players that have done it before …”
I love Winston’s confidence and leadership but he might want to pump his breaks a little. You can’t just walk around throwing around names like Montana and Rice. Let your play on the field speak for you or you could end up like Robert Griffin III who continues to dig a hole for himself by raising the bar with his words and not with his play.
