    I'm pretty sure we've already had him moved out of the first round.

    He'll be lucky if he's drafted at all!!

    Part of his draft prep will be to pray with Tony Dungy, who will pronounce him rehabilitated and thus make him eligible to be the first pick. #NoDistraction

    Winston has big-time ability in 2 sports, but if he was my son, I'd tell him to go pro in baseball.

    Longer career potential + less risk of permanent/debilitating injury.

    Maybe if the NFL doesn't work out, he'll try to catch on with somebody as a closer. He really has one hell of an arm.

    Now THAT is a hot take.

    He is at least five years away from making the major leagues and another six after that from hitting free agency. In those 11 years he will make between $75 million and $100 million from football.

    Yeah, Winston might as well give up football and play the lottery.

    I bet he has the character for that, though. Seems like he'd enjoy making pennies while taking all those bus trips through the Southern League.

    I'll be very curious if he plays baseball this year or if he just gets ready for the draft.

    Playing baseball now would hurt his draft stock more than the rape and stuff.

    No kidding. Teams might tolerate it if he was a DB or WR, but not for a QB.
