QB coach: 'Jameis (Winston) is in shape and doing great'

On Saturday, a photo of a plumper-looking Jameis Winston began making the rounds on Twitter.

Of course, photos can be deceptive (remember Fat Eddie Lacy?), so Jason McIntyre of the Big Lead decided to reach out to the Florida State quarterback's offseason coach for an explanation.

"The photo of Jameis was taken in early-mid January," quarterback guru George Whitfield said. "If people are saying he looks out of shape - well, did they notice he had the leash tight around his waist? That may have had something to do with it.

"Jameis is in shape and doing great. Anyone saying he's out of shape, they can check him out at the Combine this week."
