Jameis Winston Says He Would Throw in the Direction of Any Defensive Back, Even Richard Sherman

Jameis Winston may want to finish his collegiate football career at Florida State before he goes throwing some light-hearted jabs at his future competition in the NFL. On Sunday, ESPN's Andrea Adelson caught up with Winston and threw a hypothetical scenario out there. If Oregon's first-team All-American cornerback Ifo Ekpre-Olomu wasn't out for the 2014 Rose Bowl after tearing his ACL in practice, would Jameis be concerned about throwing in his direction? 

The obvious answer is "no," which is exactly how Winston responded. Except, the Seminoles star quarterback took a step further.

Jameis asked if FSU would test Oregon in pass game with Ifo out, said he would throw vs any DB. Even Richard Sherman.

Well, depending on who selects Winston (and if he decides to enter the 2015 NFL Draft), we may find out how unafraid of Sherman he really is. Honestly, as much as Jameis gets a bad rap for his antics, you have to love a quarterback who is fearless regardless of the competition. Maybe his answer gives off the wrong image, but personally speaking, a guy with that type of mentality is undoubtedly the QB you want under center.
