WHAT THEY ARE SAYING ABOUT JAMEIS WINSTON…
Opposing Head Coaches
Indianapolis Colts Head Coach Chuck Pagano
“Jameis is playing outstanding football. His DNA is right. He’s wired the right way. Obviously he has a tremendous amount of courage and confidence. He’s tough as damn nails. He sits in the pocket and he’s not afraid to take a lick – he’s got great pocket presence and poise and leadership ability.
The measurables are all there, but the intangibles are just off the charts, everything we saw as a quarterback at Florida State and leading that group. There’s not a throw that he can’t make and he can extend plays. He’s big and physical and strong. It’s hard to get him down, and, when he does take off, he can throw on the run. He’s playing excellent football and it’s going to take everything we’ve got to try to contain that guy.”
“Their quarterback is an outstanding player. He’s a pretty mature guy. He’s a guy that can extend plays as you saw out there. Even when we did get pressure on him he slipped through, check downs or the long ball. He’s a pretty good quarterback. He’s going to be good for a while.”
St. Louis Rams Head Coach Jeff Fisher
“Jameis (Winston) is an outstanding young quarterback and you saw that today. You heard about it, but you saw it.
He’s fiercely competitive and he’s highly intelligent and in addition to that, he has a very good arm as you saw. He has every right to be frustrated with the loss because he hates losing, because he’s not used to losing and that’s a good quality for a young quarterback.”
