Jameis Winston became a sensation by winning the Heisman trophy and a national championship at Florida State, though he came close to playing for David Shaw at Stanford.
According to Matt Maiocco of Comcast SportsNet Bay Area, Winston said during a conference call that the Cardinal were on his radar when he was making a choice about which college to attend:
When I got accepted into Stanford, me and my family were excited. I actually took my visit out there to make my final decision. When I came from Palo Alto, I was blown away.
