Jameis Winston was one of the most efficient third-down passers around

Jameis Winston is a good quarterback. I don’t know why some folks won’t believe that (well, I have some thoughts on why), but it’s true. One bit of proof for that: he’s one of the most-efficient third-down quarterbacks around.

That’s according to Football Outsiders, who have a statistic called ALEC to measure this. Effectively, it looks at how often and by how much a quarterback threw at or beyond the sticks on third down. And Winston was near the top of the table: only Carson Wentz and Aaron Rodgers did better there.
