INDIANAPOLIS -- If quarterbacks were judged on personality and charisma, it would be no contest between Jameis Winston and Marcus Mariota.

Winston won the news conference.

In a highly anticipated media session Friday, the former Florida State star laughed off rumors of a shoulder issue and announced his intention to win the Super Bowl -- next year. Winston exuded confidence that bordered on cockiness, beginning the process of trying to clean up his image. In fact, he opened his news conference with a statement about his highly publicized off-the-field issues.

"First off, before we start anything, I want to let you all know I know made mistakes and I know I have a past, but right now it’s about me moving forward and earning the trust of all these 32 teams out there," he said.

Winston announced he will participate in Saturday's throwing drills.

The latest buzz has Winston going to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with the No. 1 overall pick. The New York Jets, picking sixth, are in the quarterback market, but there's little chance of Winston slipping that far.

A few highlights of Winston's 15-minute Q&A with the national media at the scouting combine:

On why a team should pick him over Mariota: "You know, I’m not into no competition type of thing. I’m in it to win games and be the face of someone’s franchise. This is no competition between just me and Mariota, because one thing about me, I plan on winning the Super Bowl next year. So it’s going to be me vs. Peyton Manning and Jameis vs. Tom Brady. I want to be viewed like that. After all this combine stuff, you’re not going to hear no more about Jameis Winston and Marcus Mariota. I want my name to stay relevant for the next 15 or 20 years of my career."

On reports that his weight ballooned to 248 pounds after the season: "A lot of people thought I was fat, but I’m here, I’m proving everybody wrong. I look good and I know it."

On whether his baseball career is over: "Right now, I’m just focusing on football. I’m a quarterback. And this is actually the first time I’ve ever had an offseason to just work on being a quarterback. I’ve been playing baseball. I was a pitcher. That may be why the shoulder thing. But, I mean, this is the first time I’ve had an offseason and I love it. I love just putting everything to football. I’m a quarterback. This is what I do."

On how he plans to earn the trust of teams: "My actions. I have to do everything by my actions. It’s not time to explain about what I’m going through but when I do get to a city and a team I plan on getting involved in the community and create an image, a positive image, and put everything else behind me."

On the prospect of being picked No. 1 overall: "I think it would just be a privilege to play in Tampa, period. With the Florida State fan base and everything I’ve been involved with in the state of Florida and by Coach [Lovie] Smith speaking highly of me, that lets me know if I’m a part of their program, I already have a trust factor in with him and now all I have to do is accept his trust and gain his trust to help him out."
