No.1: Jameis Winston

On the football field, Jameis Winston is the best and most pro-ready football player in the draft period. The scouting media agrees but they take the off-the-field concerns into consideration. But for me, this article is about on the field and there is no one more ready for the NFL than he is.

Production and Impact

Winston is the first quarterback in college football since 1964-65 to win his first 26 starts. He won the double whammy of Heisman Trophy and National Championship as a redshirt freshman. Winston was also a Consensus All-American that year then was a semifinalist for the Davey O’Brien Award and Walter Camp Player of the Year award in 2014.

Ability

Winston is 6’4″, 231 pounds and built sturdy, often breaking tackles when the rush gets to him. He’s not a workout warrior like fellow quarterback Marcus Mariota but he comes into the NFL with elite arm strength. He also has great accuracy and touch to put a ball into some spots most quarterbacks can’t put a ball in.

Mental

Winston comes from a pro style offense and he plays just like a pro quarterback plays the game. He throws the ball into tight windows before the receiver makes his break , showing anticipation and accuracy. He also reads defenses well and often manipulates the safety with his eyes.
