Five days ago, Florida State’s 2014 season ended. Within the next nine days, Florida State’s quarterback has a decision to make.

Will he or won’t he enter the 2015 NFL draft?

Winston, who is now three years removed from high school, is eligible to make the jump to the NFL. It’s still unclear whether he will choose to go to the NFL.

After the Rose Bowl blowout loss to Oregon, Winston said he’s focused on playing baseball and the next FSU football season. Which strongly suggests he’s not leaving school this year. Indeed, if he’s going to enter the draft, he needs to forget about baseball and focus on preparing for the Scouting Combine and his Pro Day workout and every other aspect of the pre-draft process.

Given that Garo Yepremian moment and the overall poor showing in Pasadena, which at one point prompted coach Jimbo Fisher to tell Jameis in no uncertain terms that “if you don’t calm the [bleep] down, you’re going to the bench,” Winston may need another season to wipe the slate clean from last Thursday. Another Heisman Trophy wouldn’t hurt, either.

Technically, Winston has two more years to play-for-no-pay-plus-snacks, if he’s willing to do it. For now, there’s no indication that he’s willing or ready to make the jump to the NFL.
