Pasch Factor: Winston's Roots

Jameis Winston was the No. 1 overall draft choice in 2015, and had a terrific rookie season despite being on a poor team. Winston was named rookie of the year, and went to the Pro Bowl, after passing for more than 4,000 yards and 22 touchdowns. Winston had a dubious start to his first campaign, as his initial pass was intercepted and returned for a touchdown. His first game of 2016 was entirely different. Last week against Atlanta, Winston threw four touchdown passes, and had a quarterback rating of 122.6.

As you probably recall, Winston had a college career filled with controversy, which left several teams hesitant about

whether to select him high in the draft.
