The NFL has some of the greatest athletes in the world and has had some of the greatest athletes of all time like Bo Jackson, and Deion Sanders. A lot of NFL players played two sports, or even more, in high school, and sometimes college. That was no different for New Orleans Saints quarterback Jameis Winston, who was a star athlete in college.
Winston played two sports at Florida State University. He played football, and of course, won a national championship as the quarterback, and he played baseball, where he was also good enough to get drafted into the MLB.
While he did win the Heisman trophy at Florid State, he was also getting drafted to the Texas Rangers in 2012 in the 15th round.
I think it is safe to say he is a very good athlete.
We have seen a ton of great highlights of him playing quarterbacks, but not many from him playing baseball, let alone one as crazy as this.
If you watch baseball, then you know two things after watching this clip. One, it's extremely hard to steal home plate, and he did it. Two, he stole home plate against a guy who is currently a starting pitcher on the team that won the world series last year in Max Fried.
Winston is truly an amazing athlete.
