Jameis Winston tries out bizarre baseball bat training drill

Well, there’s something you don’t see everyday. Jameis Winston is a backup quarterback for the New Orleans Saints this year, competing with Taysom Hill for rights to hold a clipboard and maybe a bag of sunflower seeds on the sideline while Drew Brees conducts one of the NFL’s best offenses.

And Winston knows that he has to improve over his final performance with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, in which he lobbed nearly as many interceptions (30) as touchdown passes (33). At best, his 2019 season could be described as “high-variance.”

So it shouldn’t be a surprise to see Winston trying out new training methods this offseason.
