Jameis Winston Reflects on Tumultuous Past, Focuses on Decision-Making
Jameis Winston, the former first overall pick of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, recently reflected on a challenging period in his career. The quarterback, now with the Cleveland Browns, said that 2019 was a year where he allowed negative thoughts to consume him.
Winston credited conversations with coaches, including Bruce Arians, Byron Leftwich, and Clyde Christensen, as well as Saints teammate Drew Brees, for helping him shift his focus. They emphasized the importance of decision-making and not letting mistakes define him.
The quarterback acknowledged that turnovers, including the significant number of pick-sixes he threw during his time with the Buccaneers, were a major issue. He recalled praying for deliverance from such instances, but stated that he takes the reaction to those comments very seriously.
Winston believes in the power of prayer, but also stresses the importance of focusing on fundamentals and technique. He aims to work on these aspects of his game to minimize mistakes and make better decisions on the field.
In his recent performance, Winston plans to maintain his aggressive approach, but with a more measured approach. He believes in taking calculated risks and hitting line drives rather than trying to hit a home run every time. He is committed to continuing to step up to the plate and face challenges head-on, and will not let his past experiences define his future.
