Jameis Winston Runs 40-Yard Dash Like a Fat Guy at the Combine [VIDEO]

For the last couple weeks there has been a small controversy making the rounds on the internet over what kind of shape former Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston is in. If you listen to the rumor mill his weight was out of control and the picture that made the rounds online backed that up. Yeah, his coach tried to explain that away by saying it was the leash tight around his waist, but that is BS. If you are in shape no tight anything is going to make you look like you have flab.

Anyway...Winston did his best to deal with the rumors during media time at the combine saying he knows he looks good and that he likes to eat. Well--after the 40 he turned in Saturday morning he may not be eating nearly as much for awhile.

If you are thinking that looked awful slow it was--4.97. His second run wasn't any better, 4.99.

Does this mean he is doomed as an NFL quarterback? Absolutely not. Should he not take it as a wake-up call and get more serious with his training it might make things difficult, but he is not done by any means. However, if I'm Tampa Bay I'm circling his Pro Day on the calendar now. If he doesn't improve by then it may be time to pick Mariota instead.
