The Facts: Winston took only two weeks off after the 2017 season and generally works out twice a day. The morning is for weight training and cardio, the afternoons are for field work. The goal is to rebuild his body so it can sustain the punishment of a 16-game NFL season. He's sought advice from other veteran quarterbacks on the matter, according to coach Dirk Koetter. "I talked to Jameis and I know he's put in a lot of study in the offseason and a lot of time," Koetter said. "I just think the main thing that he learned last year is it's hard to make it through a 16-game season at any position without having your body nicked up."

Diehards Line: Winston has always been a hard worker, but because of his right shoulder injury that forced him to miss three games last season and play hurt in three others, he appears to be taking it to the next level. No way of knowing their conversation, but a few weeks ago Winston did spend some time with former Packers quarterback Brett Favre at a charity event. Favre made 297 regular-season starts over 19 seasons. "I think he did some research with some veteran quarterbacks on how to get through those injuries," Koetter said. "And I know he's doing a great job of taking care of his body. I know Jameis will always do whatever it takes to help our team win." Worth noting: Winston traveled to College Station, Texas, last week to throw with former Aggies receiver Mike Evans. Winston's former head coach at Florida State, Jimbo Fisher, is now at A&M.
