Jameis Winston's message to Saints WR's: 'Don't stop running' further downfield

Jameis Winston still has to compete with Taysom Hill for the starting quarterback job in New Orleans Saints training camp, but he’s already seizing the opportunity by working out with his teammates often throughout the spring and early summer. When asked about what messages Winston has shared in these training sessions, fourth-year pro Tre’Quan Smith was all smiles.

“Don’t stop running,” Smith told ESPN’s Mike Triplett after the Saints wrapped up their June 9 minicamp practice. If there’s nothing available underneath the coverage, Smith clarified, Winston has confidence he can strike his receivers 60 or even 70 yards downfield.
