Report: Winston’s Wing Not Serious
February 20th, 2015
The media center of the NFL Combine blew up about an hour ago when Chris Mortensen of BSPN stated a reason Winston’s medicals are taking so much longer than other players’ is because Winston has experienced a weak throwing shoulder.
Per Winston’s personal quarterback coach, that was all news to him, though he did not discredit Mort’s report.
Now, Ian Rapoport of NFL.com chimes in with news that doctors took Winston to a local hospital to further study his shoulder and it doesn’t appear serious.
More on Jameis Winston’s shoulder: 1 doc noticed weakness near the nerve. He checked out fine at the hospital. This is common for pitchers

And yes, for those unfamiliar with Winston, he is a baseball pitcher and a pretty good one at that.
Folks in frozen Indianapolis are still waiting for Winston to appear for his now day-delayed press conference.

Don’t really care…don’t want him with the 1st overall pick…don’t want him with the 1st overall pick…don’t want him with the 1st overall pick…don’t want him with the 1st overall pick…don’t want him with the 1st overall pick

Good…..want Mariota to beat him “again” fair & square…..

I am just wondering if it could be an issue that reappears in the future. Because he has played to sports that require a lot of hard throwing, I also wonder how much wear n tear is on that shoulder? will it shorten his career?

Someone was too rough with him last night! Joe you are stronger than you realize!

Clearly a conspiracy to draw attention away from his evil plot to unleash winged monkeys amongst the combine attendees while he drills a nuclear weapon into the earth’s core all while leading ISIS from behind the scenes.

they said it has something to do with when he pitched baseball.
February 20th, 2015 at 3:54 pm
Just another red flag for Winston. Weakness near the nerve is not good and should not be overlloked as it is usually a reoccuring condition
February 20th, 2015 at 3:54 pm
Joe… days like this I am glad I read your site… keep us abreast of this interview.
Please do not sugar coat his grammatical mistakes.
I want DIRECT quotes.

RED FLAG AFTER RED FLAG….HERE COMES THE SPIN MACHINE….

I would bet money that Elway and Lynch both experienced this at times. Haters find any reason at all to further their cause.
February 20th, 2015 at 3:57 pm
Hopefully the Bucs don’t waste that #1 pick on a QB with an imperfect shoulder
February 20th, 2015 at 3:57 pm
good interview with george whitfield jr, qb engineer, on nflnow. of course, nothing negative really on winston or petty. however, interesting tidbit about how winston would have reportedto baseball 2 days after the rose bowl game. winston said this is the longest in his life that he has been a fulltime football player. winston has been competing while in football half the time. winston is excited to see how far he can go doing football 100%.
February 20th, 2015 at 3:58 pm
smh…look at the haters beeing foolish and silly.
February 20th, 2015 at 3:59 pm

February 20th, 2015 at 4:04 pm

February 20th, 2015 at 4:04 pm
Where did that say it wasn’t serious
February 20th, 2015 at 4:05 pm
Is th medical on all the players 2 days
February 20th, 2015 at 4:06 pm
wow, he is wanting to be the #1 pick and represent the bucs and glazers!
February 20th, 2015 at 4:07 pm
he wasn’t too bad. had some nice things to say about coach smiff

nybucsfan is here and cue the haters…

It’s funny… that seems pretty important to me. Had to be taken to hospital for second opinion for weak shoulder. Which delayed his interviews. And has been playing baseball all his life using same shoulder as football. That shoulder has been taking some abuse. I have played volleyball most my life and my right hitting shoulder has serious problems and left non hitting shoulder is fine.
It’s just funny joe. This doesn’t scare you. Sorry brother but you have your blinders on for this guy. Again I want them to pick the right QB who will help them when the most games and I do favor mariota slightly. But if this was mariota you would have been all over him. Cmon man.

Outstanding press conference. Very impressive young man.
Learn to like him Robert9. He’s coming to Tampa Bay.
It’s as simple as that.
February 20th, 2015 at 4:14 pm
Lol haters just wondering where is said its not serious. I think anything to do with two day medical on a QB shoulder is serious
February 20th, 2015 at 4:14 pm
Its a big red flag! Injuries accumulate- scar tissue and neuropathies develop in particular small muscle groupings causing a compensation and over use of the non injured muscles. These kind of small injuries lead to the major career ending ones. See it every week at my clinic.
February 20th, 2015 at 4:18 pm
are you a doctor, david? have you seen the imaging? you do not know anything.
February 20th, 2015 at 4:21 pm
in an interview on espn, bill polian said it is not uncommon for players to get a follow up imaging. polian said it is not a red flag until doctors say it is. polian said gm’s will not overreact, though sal paolantonio and adam schefter wanted to overreact.
February 20th, 2015 at 4:33 pm
What did he say about lieing, stealing and vandalism?
February 20th, 2015 at 4:57 pm
While a lot of people are not concerned about it or just trying to write it off it is just another of a long string of things that ‘could’ be issues. At some point you have to think that the odds of one of them being a problem is getting higher.

It’s a repetative strain injury from hiding crab legs in his armpit
February 20th, 2015 at 5:38 pm
So, is it even a real injury? Or an excuse to get out of throwing at the combine?
Say you’ll throw, then fake an injury to get out of it. Something to hide I reckon.
February 20th, 2015 at 6:48 pm
Hey, remember like two hours ago when the HATERS were telling us Jameis wasn’t going to throw because his arm was going to be amputated after he faked an injury?
Good times
