“Jameis Winston Should Run for the Governor”: Former Teammate Speaks His Heart on the Browns QB Being an Ultimate Leader

Jameis Winston is one of the few personalities in the NFL who has no haters. And his teammates just adore him. The former Heisman Trophy winner is said to carry himself like a leader among men. Recently, one of his former teammates went on a podcast to elaborate on who Jameis is behind the scenes. The inherent traits that he shed light on led him to believe the Cleveland Browns quarterback could run for office one day.

Bradley Roby, who played with Winston for the New Orleans Saints, referenced his personality, the tone in which he speaks, and how he naturally carries himself, to establish why he believed Winston would make a good governor.

“I’ve never met someone who’s not the starter that you really think is the leader of the team,” the Super Bowl champion said on The Lou Young Show. “I think Jameis should run for governor or something afterward.”

Roby also discussed how Winston excels at his pregame speeches and is always the first one out of the tunnel. While his teams might sometimes do him wrong by benching Winston, he doesn’t mind, the cornerback added.

In fact, Winston always cheers on his teammates, even when he is not playing. He also always speaks up when it’s needed.

There have been many viral Winston moments over the years. Some funny, some influential, and some even controversial moments from his college days.

However, as he grew up and graduated from college, he’s done a great job scrubbing anything that cast him in a negative light. He became a fan favorite and a teammate favorite.

He went viral for an “Eat the W” speech back in Tampa Bay, which showed off his eccentric personality for the first time. NFL coaches also spoke very highly of him during pre-draft interviews, saying he answered every question correctly and took full responsibility for his actions.

And it’s really been nothing but universal love for Winston since. He has always struggled to keep his job on the field due to turnovers. But off it, he’s loved by fans and teammates. Admittedly, Winston is very charismatic and says things with a certain style that few others do. He’s very smooth and also eccentric, and it makes for a fascinating combination.

That’s why it wouldn’t be surprising to see Roby’s words come to fruition. It was an interesting possible future to consider for Winston.

Governors are often very good public speakers, and Winston has mastered that ability. Teammates love to play with him, and people might like to vote for him.

Regardless, a career in public speaking seems inevitable for Winston after he retires. The host who asked Roby the question even thinks he’d make a good pastor.

We’ll see what Jameis gets up to after retirement. For now, he remains focused on his dream of securing an established starting job with the Browns.
