MANKATO, Minn. -- Xavier Rhodes liked how Jameis Winston looked in the fall of 2012, but he's not about to say he predicted greatness back then.
Rhodes was playing his final season as a Florida State cornerback three years ago while Winston was redshirting as a freshman quarterback. Rhodes, now in his third year with the Vikings, will run into his former teammate and the NFL's No. 1 draft pick when Winston makes his exhibition debut for Tampa Bay on Saturday night at TCF Bank Stadium.
"Anybody could say right now (they knew Winston was a future star), but you couldn't tell how good his outcome was," Rhodes said.
