Just Jameis Winston. In Publix. Buying some crab legs
One of the craziest viral stories of the past few years in sports was the Jameis Winston crab legs affair.
You remember. Winston was cited for shoplifting crab legs from a Publix grocery store. That led to a million jokes, and some back and forth of whether someone at Publix “hooked up” Winston with the crab legs or whatever happened.
Winston went on to be drafted first by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and is having a nice rookie season, though the crab legs ordeal still is pretty funny. So when you see Winston in a Publix, buying crab legs, well, it’s picture time. Considering he wore the same gray coat, white shirt and black tie to his postgame press conference, this was apparently soon after Tampa Bay’s loss to the New Orleans Saints on Sunday:
That’s just too good.
Winston has poked fun at the crab legs thing before, catering crab legs to his draft party and posting a picture with them (Yahoo’s Shaun King explained later that it was for charity). This didn’t seem like a setup, just a quarterback at Publix buying some crab legs.
No hook up needed this time for the top pick of the NFL draft. But a pretty funny story.
