Preview: Buccaneers Vikings put defenses to the test in Week 3 showdown
Jameis Winston
Jameis Winston  won the Heisman Trophy the following year while leading the Seminoles to the national championship.
After one more season   he  was off to the NFL as the first pick in the draft by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The success was hardly a surprise  born out of an innate self-assurance.
" He  always wanted to race.  He  thought  he  was the fastest person on the team  knowing  he  was the slowest.  He  was competing in everything  thought  he  had the best hands  thought  he  could cover anyone " said Rhodes  who'll be defending  Winston  on Sunday with the Minnesota Vikings. "I'm like  'Bro  you're just an all-around athlete  huh? Running a 4.8  huh?'"
No  speed is not part of  Winston 's elite skillset.  His  official 40-yard dash time at the NFL combine in 2015 was 4.97 seconds .
Just about everything else is. With the Vikings uncertain this week about quarterback Sam Bradford's status  having started Case Keenum at Pittsburgh because of an injury to Bradford's left knee  the Buccaneers are clearly  Winston 's team.
"Jameis is Jameis " Rhodes said. " He 's confident in everything  he  does."
 Winston  will face an accomplished defense in Minnesota  with the Pro Bowl cornerback Rhodes one of the standouts.
" His  size and speed combination is amazing. But at the end of the day  just like at Florida State  we're going to go out there and compete "  Winston  said.
Vikings running back Dalvin Cook  a freshman in  Winston 's final season with the Seminoles in 2014  recalled a certain read-option play where  Winston  would hand  him  the ball and then try to hustle in front to block for  him .
" He 's just a guy who built up confidence.  He  carries  himself  like a leader  which  he  is " Cook said.
