Video of Winston working on his mechanics
One of the knocks of Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston has been his mechanics for throwing the football. Many have (ridiculously) referred to it as being similar to that of former Buccaneers quarterback Byron Leftwich — a slow wind up with average release speed.

Seminole semifinal aftermath: appreciating the FSU run
Follow TSS on Twitter @TheStudentSect
Sometime in the fourth quarter of the 2015 Rose Bowl, I made the mistake of getting on Twitter for a second. I like to know if I’ve missed anything, mostly news wise, while I was doing things more important than hanging out on the Internet for three hours.
