EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — New York Giants quarterback Jameis Winston is making his mark off the field this season by leading daily Bible study sessions with his teammates, according to online reports.
Winston, a Pro Bowl quarterback, has reportedly organized afternoon readings, reflections, and discussions — a practice that has drawn strong participation and reflects his public commitment to sharing his Christian faith. It’s a notable shift from his college days at Florida State, when he faced both a sexual assault investigation (no charges filed) and a widely publicized 2014 shoplifting citation involving crab legs.
Faith on Display
During his time with the Cleveland Browns, Winston frequently quoted scripture before and after games — including Proverbs 21:31: “The horse is prepared for battle, but victory comes from the Lord.” He often credited his faith for victories and publicly thanked God during national TV interviews.
Now with the Giants, Winston has emerged as a vibrant presence in the locker room. Teammates describe him as a “wild card” whose energy and humor bring life to the quarterback room.
From High-Risk Prospect to Veteran Leader
Winston’s transformation from a high-risk draft prospect to a stabilizing veteran presence has been years in the making. His up-and-down 2019 season with the Buccaneers — in which he threw 30 touchdowns and 30 interceptions — contrasted sharply with his 2024 stint in Cleveland, where he passed for 2,121 yards and 13 touchdowns in just 12 games.
Wherever he plays, those close to him say his faith remains central to his public life and approach to leadership.
