Jameis Winston plans to shed eight pounds before new season begins

By , Reporter
Jameis Winston reveals that he wants to lose eight pounds in weight before his rookie season starts with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

New Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston has revealed that he plans to shed some weight before the beginning of the new season.

The 21-year-old was the first overall pick of the NFL Draft last month, but claims that he needs to lose some pounds before he can play at his very best.

He told reporters: "Trying to lose some weight, try to get back skinny. Right now I'm 238 [pounds], I'm trying to be my redshirt freshman year [weight], about 230. I mean, learn that playbook too, man, you can never go wrong with that."

Winston threw 65 touchdowns in two seasons for college side Florida State.
