![]() Through a combination of working by hand and transcribing, I found that Winston has a higher interception rate this season than any quarterback drafted in the top three rounds since 2004 did in his final college year. The final college season is when in theory these players will be developmentally as close to finished as they will be before entering the NFL. I crunched the numbers of the final college season of every quarterback I could find drafted in the first three rounds over the past decade. I wondered whether this set Winston apart among recent high NFL Draft quarterback prospects. Winston has thrown at least 1 pick in 9 of his 11 starts this season. That is a really high rate of interceptions. ![]() For reference, Geno Smith is at 4.3% this season. In the NFL that is an extremely high rate. He has thrown 17 interceptions on 392 passes. But there has been something noticeable about his performance on the field this year. Wetzel: UFC’s plan to stage Khabib vs.Jameis Winston is obviously a controversial NFL Draft prospect for reasons that have nothing to do with the football field. NCAA restores year of eligibility over lost coronavirus season Release date of new Jordan/Bulls documentary moved up Report: NFL personnel mad at Goodell for not delaying draft At least Godwin is around to write a letter of recommendation. In other words, Winston (and Newton and Dalton) picked a bad time to be looking for a starting quarterback job. The likely-to-be disrupted offseason won’t push any teams on the fence at quarterback into a drastic move, either. Teams either have an established option, will be drafting someone or have someone they’ve talked themselves into. Like Cam Newton and the Cincinnati Bengals trying to trade Andy Dalton, Winston is likely finding that not many teams are looking for a new starting quarterback. Not only will Winston be switching teams, the 26-year-old former first overall pick coming off a 5,109-yard season might not even start in 2020. Going back to at least 1967, no quarterback who led the NFL in passing yards switched teams the following season ( h/t to Greg Auman of The Athletic).

Godwin said in an interview with The Boardroom, via Jenna Laine of, that not all of Winston’s interceptions last season were on Winston. The quarterback is always the one who has to answer about it. Sometimes defenses make a tremendous play. A receiver can run a wrong route, or even be slightly out of position. Interceptions always go on the quarterback’s record, but not all interceptions are a QB’s fault. Godwin defended his former teammate, saying half of Winston’s interceptions last season weren’t his fault. ![]() Winston’s habit of giving the ball to the other team is the main reason the 2019 leader in passing yards is unsigned and doesn’t have an obvious landing spot as a starter. More accurately, Winston lost his job when he posted the NFL’s first 30-interception season since 1988. Winston lost his job as Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback when the team signed Brady. ![]() Chris Godwin is making nice with his new quarterback, Tom Brady, and still looking out for his old quarterback Jameis Winston. ![]()
