UPDATED: Florida State suspends Winston for first half vs. Clemson

Shayn Roby’s Take: It appears that Mr. Winston is having trouble shaking off his thuggery. He fails to realize that every little incident in which he is involved is scrutinized by the NFL. As he makes a spectacle of himself, his potential position in the NFL draft drops lower and lower as he as perceived as a financial risk. He is a public relations nightmare for whomever he works with as his agent in the near future.
