TAMPA Jameis Winston still is looking for a job in the NFL and he and his long-time trainer, former NFL player Otis Leverette, are fond of posting videos of his somewhat unorthodox workouts.<\/p>\n
At different times, they have included: running with a rope tethered to a vehicle, running with the football through crashing waves, and balancing on his injured knee while catching tennis balls thrown off a basketball backboard.<\/p>\n
The latest post of Winston dodging and ducking under a large, weighted swing ball while in a throwing position drew the ridicule of former Texans quarterback David Carr, an analyst for the NFL Network.<\/p>\n
Stop paying your friends to train you, Carr tweeted. Stop. Get some help. Ive been in a lot of collapsing pockets and never once did I have defenders flying past my head.\"<\/p>\n
Carr is right. He is the king of collapsing pockets. Like Winston, Carr was a No. 1 overall pick who played 11 seasons, the first five as a punching bag for the Texans, where he was sacked 76 times as a rookie.<\/p>\n
Winston and former Florida State quarterback Danny Kanell fired back at Carr. Leverette has been Winstons trainer since he was 14 years old. In a reply to the criticism, Winston posted a video of him seemingly avoiding a Saints pass rusher by lowering his head and nearly losing his balance.<\/p>\n
Hey bro I have nothing but love for you! Winston tweeted. Reach out to help or mind your business though. Ive been working with my personal trainer since I was 14! We built this from the bottom and were still building. Treat others how you want to be treated bro! #Lahater. #Socialdistancing.<\/p>\n
Kanell claimed half the exercises at the combine are useless. I think this drill could add value. Its not like its giving anyone bad habits!<\/p>\n
But Carr was steadfast in his blunt criticism. The exercise is still completely useless.<\/p>\n
