Jameis Winston spoke with Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh and members of his staff.
Harbaugh pushed Winston to explain the incident in which he was caught on a security camera taking crab legs from a Publix grocery store.
Winston explains that he wasn’t shoplifting, but rather had a deal with a Publix employee where he was gifted free food.
While who knows how true or not this is, it does seem to make sense. Winston and FSU coach Jimbo Fisher couldn’t say that he was being gifted free food, because that could be construed as a violation of NCAA rules, so it made more sense to frame it as a juvenile mistake. Fisher memorably said that Winston wasn’t used to shopping at that supermarket and had been distracted when carrying out the crab legs.
