Jameis Winston is making doubters doubt their own doubt. The Florida State quarterback has impressed scouts, coaches and media this weekend on and off the field at the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis about as much as he could have.

Few — if any, at this point — knock the 21-year-old for his ability to play the position. Some scouts even consider Winston's football IQ to be as strong as that of Peyton Manning, perhaps the smartest NFL quarterback of all time, according to Bleacher Report's Mike Freeman.

I'm surprised at how surprised people seem to be re: Jameis

Winston's off-the-charts football IQ.

Impressive

I have no doubt the guy has got smarts... But how exactly do you quantify what's in a guy's head to this extent from a 15 minute conversation with a chalkboard

This is why I don't want him to go to Tampa Bay. 

 

But at the same point the Bucs don't have a strong locker room so maybe he steals all the crab legs this time

NFL.com:

Steve Mariucci called Winston "the most astute X's and O's guy that he's ever put on the board" for his draft breakdowns.

"He was not only answering the questions that Steve was throwing at him but anticipating what that question might lead to next and answering that question before Steve even posed it."

NFL Media analyst Mike Mayock said Mariucci's comments were in line with what he had heard about Winston's football IQ and work ethic, which he has been told are "off the charts."

Chances some team tries to trade up for Winston, and the Bucs do the trade?
