Watch: Jameis Winston tests out his deep ball post-surgery

Well look at that. Jameis Winston is still recovering from surgery to repair a torn ACL and damaged MCL in his left knee, an injury that ended his 2021 season with the New Orleans Saints, but he’s still got one of the best arms in pro football. He took a break during rehab to flex a little on the practice field, letting it rip from midfield.

Winston’s recovery has been really well-documented on social media; his team has been sharing videos of his progress almost weekly as he tests out his surgically-repaired knee. With free agency fast approaching, he’ll be eager to show interested teams (including the Saints) that he’s healthy and ready to lead an offense again.

Obviously it’ll take more than one nice pass to convince a team to sign him. But Winston made enough improvements in limited snaps with the Saints last year to warrant a further look. He did a better job of protecting the football and maintained a highly-efficient scoring offense. If the Saints can bring him back, improve his protection and upgrade his assortment of weapons, Winston could really impress some people.
