Jameis Winston on his pregame speeches: “Bro, listen, that's me”

Jameis Winston is exactly what the Browns needed. He's the perfect antidote to the Deshaun Watson era, which is over for now and possibly forever.

Winston is always authentic. Always entertaining. Especially during the pre-game speeches. He was asked by reporters on Wednesday if he rehearses them.

“Bro, listen, it's me,” Winston said. “If, like a lot of people, you spend time trying to figure out, 'Who is this guy?' You're wasting your time, okay? That's exactly what I am. I don't rehearse things. What I rehearse are our pieces. If you want to hear me, put on a play, I'll rehearse it for you. I do that in the mirror. I let my wife put on plays and things like that. So if you want to see some rehearsal footage, please check out the script.”

His most famous pregame speech – “Eat a W” – continues to be mentioned, particularly because he sells T-shirts with that message.

“It started with alphabet soup, you know?” Winston said. “I always did 'Eat a W.'” Because alphabet soup is like that, if you grow up in the neighborhood, you eat the alphabet soup. So I just eat the W.”

The Browns ate an unlikely W while simultaneously force-feeding the Ravens an L in Winston's first start with the Browns. While it may be too late for the Browns under Winston to eat enough Ws to make the playoffs, it's fun to watch.

With a capital F.
