Jameis Winston Flaws

At a young age, like 12 or 13, he wrecked his right ring finger jamming a bball and the tip of that finger has no muscle control or feeling. His ball flutters because he can't really spin it.

He obviously has vision issues. He can't see signs from the sideline. Maybe it helps having blurred vision looking down field.

If I'm a potential first round pick, I'd get those corrected. Just wondering if anyone else noticed this stuff.

He was a Texas recruit wannabe if they would have offered him but Mack Brown wanted another Mccoy instead.

Mack missed out on RG3, Luck and now Winston. The guy has an awful track record recruiting QBs.
 
He takes his contacts off when he's playing football, that's amazing to me.
I noticed the squinting, but I had no clue he removes his contacts for games. Seems silly. I can't believe Winston can see effectively(not to mention judge distances) on the field, if he can barely see the signals coming in from the sidelines.

I used to wear the nerdy rec-spec "glasses" that Dickerson used to wear when I played football in the early 90's because I couldn't get used to contacts and I'm blind. At least I never got poked in the eye again in the pile though.

He didn't miss on Vince Young, Major Applewhite or Chris Simms. (Say what you will about Simms, dude did play in the league for a few years).
