Marcus Mariota and Jameis Winston Working Out Together Preparing for the Combine

All eyes are going to be on Marcus Mariota and Jameis Winston leading up to the NFL Draft. Both had standout college careers and won the Heisman, but only one will be able to go No. 1 in the draft. While that does mean you go to the worst team in the league the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have a number of play makers on the roster that are just begging for a solid quarterback to get them the ball.

While both would likely love to go No. 1, only one can. They were competitors on the field and will be in the draft. How better to keep tabs on the competition than to work out with them. It appears the duo are doing just that.

A lot of attention has been given to Mariota working out with soon to be Cleveland QB coach Kevin O'Connel, but it appears that he along with Winston are working out with Prolific Athletes in San Diego.

"You talk to them and they’re like, ‘No, I want to work with him,'" said Ryan Flaherty, who has been training both of them at Prolific Athletes in San Diego. "That’s the best part. They’re both wanting to be the guy and they’ll fight for it, but they’re pushing each other."

As crazy as it might seem it makes sense. How better to know how well you measure up to the competition than to work out with the competition? According to Flaherty, if one used a certain amount of weight in a workout the other added a little bit more.

Flaherty is also working out with Baylor quarterback Bryce Petty ahead of the draft.
