After throwing 30 interceptions in a season, Jameis Winston was considered more of a punchline than a legitimate starting quarterback. But the former first pick says he is working tirelessly to get his career back on track and he spoke about how hard he's been working at the inaugural Kenny Shaw RAW Football Camp.
"I went from being the No. 1 draft pick to everybody laughing at me. But guess what? I'm about that business," Winston said to the youth football players attending the camp. "I'm outworking everyone at my position -- I know Dak [Prescott] is right there (Prescott was at the camp as well). I'm doing things every single day committing to the dream because that's the thing. We have to go back to being little kids about this football game."
Winston should have a chance to prove how hard he is working this upcoming season, as he is expected to begin the season as the starting quarterback for the New Orleans Saints following Drew Brees' retirement. However, if he continues to struggle, he could quickly be benched in favor of Taysom Hill, who has shown flashes of potential when he's been on the field over the last few seasons.
