Jimbo Fisher says Jameis Winston struggled with NFL linebackers early on

Jameis Winston has shown remarkable growth over his rookie season, but he still struggled with some things early on. Apparently, he confided in his college head coach Jimbo Fisher, who talked to Robert Klemko of The MMQB on Winston's play so far. The interview contained some good nuggets on Winston's play, but this quote stood out to me.

"Jameis was kind of amazed at the speed of the linebackers and how well they could cover," says Jimbo Fisher, the Florida State coach who helped Winston win a Heisman trophy and a national championship in 2013.
