Not long after Jameis Winston left Florida State for the NFL, legendary former Seminoles coach Bobby Bowden had an interesting take on the now Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback for his time at the college.

Speaking on the Paul Finebaum Show on the SEC Network Tuesday, Bowden addressed Winston’s sometimes tumultuous tenure in Tallahassee.

“I think it’s a consensus among Florida State fans and boosters that he was an embarrassment in a lot of ways to the university,” Bowden said. “He won a lot of ball games, probably one of the best football players that ever attended Florida State, but he hurt himself off the field. The good news is that he’s young enough to get over that, you know it? And he has got to do that. But he just can’t make those junior high school decisions that he made while he was in college.”

Among his indiscretions at Florida State were accusations of stealing crab legs from a grocery store, yelling an obscenity at a campus student centre, and of course being accused of sexual assault, which he was not charged with and is currently counter-suing the accuser.
