Jameis Winston: 'People try to dehumanize me'

Jameis Winston is one of the most controversial athletes of the year.

The Florida State star is regarded as of the two best quarterback prospects in the draft alongside Oregon’s Marcus Mariota. However, the 21-year-old comes with off-the-field history. Back in 2012, Winston was accused of sexually assaulting a female FSU student. In December 2014, he was cleared of any violation of Florida State’s student conduct code.

In an interview with ESPN The Magazine‘s Kurt Streeter, Winston responded to his critics.

From ESPN:

“So many people try to dehumanize me,” he says.
