YouTube/ShowtimeSports

He may no longer be firing passes as Florida State's quarterback, but it seems Jameis Winston is still leading the Seminoles to comeback victories.

The 2013 Heisman Trophy winner - now playing quarterback for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers - visited the Seminoles locker room as the team faced a 28-13 halftime deficit Monday against Ole Miss.

The 22-year-old delivered an impassioned speech, imploring the squad to "act like dogs, not puppies," in hopes of launching a second-half comeback.

Winston's speech seemed to have a masterful effect, as the Seminoles roared back to win 45-34, the largest comeback in school history.
