TALLAHASSEE (CBSMiami/AP) — Jameis Winston could very well end up being the top pick in next month's NFL Draft.
Winston threw passes for nearly an hour at Florida State's pro day Tuesday, showing off his arm strength, accuracy and stamina for NFL coaches, general managers and scouts.
His next public workout might be as the top pick in the NFL draft.
Winston sent a strong message — literally — that he should be the first player chosen in April's draft. Asked why Tampa Bay should take him, Winston didn't hesitate before responding "because I'm the best player in this draft."
Winston completed 91 of 102 passes in the 55-minute session, with about half of the incompletions being drops. He dodged brooms, tennis rackets and even flying blocking pads as he threw a variety of passes in front of representatives from all 32 NFL teams.
