A solemn review of Jameis Winston’s six opening-drive interceptions

Jameis Winston continued his trend of opening-drive interceptions on Saturday. What do these picks tell us about Winston’s NFL future?

Week 6 vs. Panthers

Winston got it out of the way right away the next week against the Panthers, throwing a pick to corneback James Bradberry on the very first play of the game. The clock had barely started rolling when Winston threw this interception to cornerback James Bradberry. The Panthers have Tre Boston as a deep safety — so deep, he’s out of the coach’s tape. So, this is Cover-3, and Winston tries to hit receiver Mike Evans on a quick comeback. This is a very risky throw, as linebacker Luke Kuechly is flaring out to Evans’ area, and Bradberry is close enough to jump the route. But hey — if you’re Jameis Winston, you believe enough in your arm strength to get that thing in there. The result? Carolina’s ball.
