In the past, when someone has said of Jameis Winston, “He can really spin it,” that’s generally been in reference to his skill at throwing a football. Winston showed Wednesday that he can also spin an otherwise awkward situation when he said that he deserved “kudos” for having been replaced as Buccaneers quarterback by Tom Brady.
Winston’s reasoning appeared to be that since Brady is considered by many to be the greatest of all time, that means only a quarterback of the highest quality could be sufficient to push Winston out of his starting job in Tampa Bay.
