Jameis Winston capped off an incredible year by leading the FSU seminoles to an undefeated season, ACC Championship, BCS Championship and winning the Heisman trophy. Although he has all those accomplishments and is considered NFL ready by most, he still has one thing he wants to get done, his college degree.

Jameis Winston indicated that he might remain at Florida State beyond the 2014 season, telling NFL.com that earning a degree is “very important” to him while claiming that graduating is “the main purpose in college.”
Winston’s father, Antonor, made headlines last month when he told AL.com that his family expects the reigning Heisman Trophy winner to play two more seasons with the Seminoles.
Although he didn’t provide a firm commitment to his father’s comments, Winston reiterated his desire to complete his education.
“It’s very important to me,” Winston told NFL.com. “I was always raised as a student first and an athlete second.
“I think that’s the main purpose in college. Some athletes lose that perspective. It’s about being a student-athlete, and not just getting that easy money and going to the league. Even if kids leave early, I would want them to come back and get that degree.”
