Two months ago, we took a look at Jameis Winston’s numbers and how they compared to other quarterbacks selected No. 1 overall since 1999. That list included 12 other players, including Andrew Luck, Cam Newton, Sam Bradford, Matthew Stafford, JaMarcus Russell, Alex Smith, Eli Manning, Carson Palmer, David Carr, Michael Vick, Tim Couch and Peyton Manning.
The conclusion was – Winston was headed for an impressive season by rookie standards. But those numbers back in October were much more of a projection as Winston only had a few games under his belt. With 12 games played and just four remaining, we projected Winston’s rookie stats again and compared him to other top picks.
