Jameis Winston's Throw From Giants Training Camp Is Blowing Up Online

Jameis Winston's Throw From Giants Training Camp Is Blowing Up Online originally appeared on Athlon Sports.

Jameis Winston's 10-year, NFL career hasn't gone exactly according to plan. The former No. 1 overall pick has turned into somewhat of a journeyman quarterback, as he gets set to play for his fourth team.

Winston assumed the starting QB job for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers from day one, starting all 16 games in his rookie season. After showing flashes of greatness, his five-year ride with the Buccaneers came to end after throwing 33 touchdowns and 30 interceptions in 2019.

After stints with the New Orleans Saints and Cleveland Browns, he signed a two-year, $8 million contract with the New York Giants this offseason. At the time of signing, he appeared to have a clear path to the starting QB job, however, the signing of Russell Wilson and drafting of Jaxson Dart has muddied those waters.

Jameis Winston's Perfect Throw at Giants Training Camp Goes Viral

Despite Winston seeming destined for a backup role on the Giants this season, that hasn't stopped him from doing what he does best, entertaining the world.

Towards the end of Giants practice at training camp on Thursday, head coach Brian Daboll, gave his four QBs a chance to end walkthrough early if one of them could hit the crossbar from approximately 20-30 yards away.

After a short speech from Winston, he nailed the throw on the first attempt. And now Winston is blowing up online, with the video being viewed millions of times in just over five hours.

Winston, as always, added his own flavor to his speech prior to the throw that ended practice early.

"Hey, but I do want to tell y'all, we got bible study at 3:30 during the snack period. And y'all faith is going to determine me hitting this," Winston said.

Winston nailed the crossbar, and his Giants team erupted as if they'd just won the Super Bowl.

"Y'all know! Y'all know what time it is! Y'all already know! I tried to tell y'all!" Winston hollered.

And then Winston followed up, making sure to hold his teammates to their promise.

"Hey, who's going to bible study?!" Winston asked.

The Giants released their first unofficial depth chart this week, ahead of their first preseason game. Winston has been listed as the No. 2 QB behind Wilson, with Dart No. 3 and Tommy DeVito No. 4.

Wilson was brought into the mix in March after signing a one-year, $10.5 million contract, and Dart was drafted with the No. 25 overall pick in this year's draft. DeVito is the only holdover from last year's 3-14 Giants roster.
