Quarterbacks were scheduled to talk at the NFL Scouting Combine yesterday, but Jameis Winston never arrived because of “medical tests.”
As it turns out, those tests might be a bigger concern than anyone knew.
According to Chris Mortensen of ESPN, Winston is having further tests to determine the cause of weakness in his throwing shoulder.
That might also explain the equivocation about whether he’s going to throw here in Indianapolis or not, and speaks to the real benefit of the Combine to teams. Having centralized medical testing allows teams to get to the bottom of this together.
At a time when the Buccaneers are widely assumed to be thinking about Winston with the top pick, his health could become a major story here, such that he wasn’t one already.
