Jameis Winston seems to be getting rave reviews from all over the place. Whether it's current Tampa Bay Buccaneers players or coaches, or former players, people seem to love them some Famous Jameis. According to JoeBucsFan.com, the most recent person to send praise in the direction of Winston is former Buccaneer Mike Alstott.

“Take football out of it. He’s very, very professional, very kind,” Alstott said of Jameis. “You know, even spending 48 hours with him at my [charity] event. On Mother’s Day he talked to my wife. First thing in the morning, ‘Happy Mother’s Day.’ On Father’s Day he texted me, ‘Happy Father’s Day, Mr. Alstott.’

“He is a kind warm, gentle. He was there at all the events. He didn’t just pick up and leave after a half an hour of 45 minutes. He stayed for the duration.”

Reading things like this are great, especially because this goes beyond just how Winston acts on the football field. He's showing a lot away from the field, which is often times just as important as the things you say and what you do on the field itself.
