A year after following in Johnny Manziel's footsteps as a redshirt freshman Heisman Trophy winner, the beginning of Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston's sophomore campaign is looking eerily similar to Johnny Football's.
The only difference is, Winston is worse.
While Johnny spent the summer after his Heisman season trolling folks on the internet, partying around the country and pulling all the co-eds he wanted, Jameis was accused of rape and, on a MUCH lighter note, written a citation for stealing crab legs from a Tallahassee grocery store.
The rape allegation ultimately yielded no charges, and the crab leg fiasco made for better internet jokes than actual outrage, but Winston came back louder, more boisterous and more confident that ever at ACC media day. Not exactly what most people wanted to see from the outspoken signal caller.
Now Winston has gotten himself suspended for the first half of this Saturday night's home game against Clemson. What did the reigning Heisman Trophy winner do?
I cover high school sports, so I will leave the coverage of loud and lewd statements to the good fellas over at Deadspin. You can read all about Winston's moronic, and not actually funny, antics here.
Now, onto football.
