When asked why the Tampa Bay Buccaneers should make him the No. 1 overall pick in the draft, Jameis Winston didn’t hesitate.
“Because I’m the best player in the draft,” Winston said.
That comment came after Winston’s pro day workout in front of a large group of NFL coaches, scouts and general managers at Florida State’s indoor practice facility. They got a more extensive look at Winston than at most pro days. Winston threw 102 passes, completing all but 10 of them. Most pro days feature quarterbacks making 50 or 60 throws.
Winston, who was the only quarterback involved in the workout, said the extra throws were to allow all his receivers to show what they can do.
“I just want to compete,” Winston said. “My job as a quarterback is to throw.”
