One NFL executive told Bob McGinn of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel that he sees some similiarties between Jameis Winston and JaMarcus Russell.
“With Jameis Winston I see JaMarcus Russell,” a longtime executive in personnel said. “Isn’t it interesting?”
“Lack of focus by JaMarcus is what I see in Winston,” the personnel man said. “They’re physically talented, but during the course of a game they kind of lose their focus and just put the ball up for grabs.
“I see the body. I see the lack of focus. I see the same coach and system. Only Winston’s not as good an athlete and his arm isn’t as strong as JaMarcus’.”
Another personnel man said the following:
“We’re looking at another guy (Winston) that’s a product of the system and has tremendous athletes around him,” another personnel man said. “Oh, my goodness.
“Is this guy really going to be the first pick of the draft? You’d be drafting a quarterback that can’t run, has off-field problems, has no power in his legs and makes bad decisions on the field.
“Somebody’s going to make a horrible mistake.”
