Athletic and Sturdy

Some teams can put heat on you using four rushers and those are the teams that can beat Tom Brady and Peyton Manning. But they have a much harder time with guys like Aaron Rogers and Ben Roethlisberger, who don’t go down too easily. You can put Andrew luck in that category too and Winston showed against the Yellow Jackets that he also fits that mold.

Winston, at 6’4″ , 240 pounds, showed good escapability and tackle breaking ability to which is most reminiscent of Roethisberger. He always seems to be a lot faster than the defense thinks and most importantly, he has the size to take the hits over a 16-game season. Guys like Michael Vick and Robert Griffin III stay on disable lists and R.G. III still isn’t the same after his big injury after starting his career hot.
