Jameis Winston's weight loss this season has been well-chronicled: he saw how ripped every quarterback at the Pro Bowl was, and got inspired to fix his own relatively un-fit body. Now ESPN's Britt McHenry talked to Winston about his offseason training regimen, and the work he did with Tim Grover to fix his diet, his body and even his play.

Winston set out to increase his flexibility, and the Bucs' coaching staff wanted him to quicken his drop backs. Grover spent a lot time on Winston's footwork to eliminate any negative steps. He also focused on how Winston stops and lands rather than how he runs and jumps, to develop the right kind of pivot points for Winston to change direction.
