Michael Vick sees greatness ahead for Jameis Winston By: Chase Goodbread Count Michael Vick among those who see Jameis Winston flourishing in pro football, calling the Florida State quarterback the future of the NFL. Just how soon that future will come, however, remains to be seen. Winston still has two years of NCAA eligibility remaining, but as a third-year sophomore, he is eligible to declare for the 2015 NFL Draft. Staying or going? NFLs College Football 24/7 is tracking reports of college football underclassmen in anticipation for the 2015 NFL Draft. Underclassmen have until Jan. 15, 2015 to declare their intentions. READ I think hes a great player. Ive been around so long, I appreciate guys coming out of college. I look forward to watching him. I have high expectations for him, Vick said, according to nj. I think he, over time, has made some poor decisions. Have I been there to know exactly what happened? No. But I do know one thing: He may make some poor decisions, but he gets on that football field and he plays his (tail) off. Yeah, he can mature. Hell mature. I see him maturing as time goes on. Like, this year hasnt been as bad of a year as the first year was for Jameis. I think the kid will continue to improve. I think hes the future of the NFL. Friday morning, FSU coach Jimbo Fisher said he believes Winston would be one of the first two players chosen in the draft, but has no idea what decision he will ultimately make regarding declaring early or returning to college. While Vick called Winston the future of the NFL, however, he also cautioned that no rookie quarterback can succeed in the NFL without the rest of a winning team already in place. If he aint got guys blocking for him, then he aint going to succeed. If he aint got guys catching the ball, he aint going to succeed. If the defense cant stop nobody, then theres pressure on him to score, (on) the whole offense. This is the total team game, Vick said. Theres no other game like the NFL. One quarterback cant do it. One receiver cant do it all. And its been proven year after year after year. » Predictions for all 38 college bowl games Winston, who won the Heisman Trophy in 2013, faces Oregon in at the Rose Bowl Jan. 1 in a College Football Playoff semifinal. For now, he can just be the future of the Seminoles.
