Cleveland Browns quarterback Jameis Winston is an endless fount of hilarious comments, and sometimes even wisdom. In a league full of characters, Winston manages to shine with his sincere attitude and seemingly limitless insights into the game. Here, we give our 10 favorite Jameis Winston sound bites of all time. A mixture of laughter, wisdom, and motivation all at the same time. Buckle up.
“Somebody jump offsides, damn!!”
Quarterbacks are known for trying to draw defenses offsides using a hard count or cadence. It takes discipline for teams to not jump. The Steelers, perhaps the definition of discipline in the NFL, did not fall for it. Winston was not happy about it, to say the least. Listen to this for a good laugh!
“Eat a W”
Food and football fit like hand and glove. In this particular instance however, a food metaphor being used to describe a team’s mentality is… creative to say the least. Just leave it to Winston to find a way to make it work. Watch this hilarious pregame speech from a Bucs game against the Saints where Winston flubs it and leaves us with another classic.

“Victory comes from the Lord”
Winston is not shy about sharing his faith. He carries it everywhere he goes, which adds to his authentic personality and sincerity. Before the game against the Steelers, he was asked what it would take to beat them. The answer was powerful and truthful. Check it out. It would not be surprising if Winston found his calling outside of football once he retires: a pastor. When he speaks, people should listen.
“Unwavering faith, ultimate belief”
Before his first start as Browns quarterback, Winston was asked what it would take to pull off the win against a tough Baltimore Ravens team. His answer was short and sweet: “unwavering faith”. Check it out. Is this guy Jameis Winston or General George Patton??
Quote from Eminem’s “Lose Yourself”
After the win against Baltimore, Winston gave fans another mic drop moment, quoting of all things, Eminem’s hit song “Lose Yourself”. Watch this. It speaks volumes about his mindset. You only get one chance at a first impression. Or in Winston’s case, only one chance at a second opportunity.
”Represent the names that are on your helmet… Well, we ain’t got no decal”
Winston made his first start with the Cleveland Browns a month ago. We can’t help but chuckle at this pregame speech that he had with his teammates. Apparently he forgot the team had no decal on their helmet. Talk about having an awkward moment…
“Let it snow touchdowns”
Winston is from the south, Alabama specifically. Before becoming a Cleveland Brown, he played for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the New Orleans Saints. Both cities are warm during the winter time, and the Saints play in a dome. The week 11 game against the Steelers was Winston’s first ever snow game, if you can believe that.. Safe to say he was beyond happy about it. We all act like kids when the snowfall hits. Check this out.
“Precision, detail, and pride.”
No matter what occupation a person may hold in life, it requires three simple things: being detailed, having precision, and more than anything, taking pride in the job. Being a professional football player is no different. Listen to this pre-game huddle from a few weeks ago. If this doesn’t reach you, nothing will.
”We some dawgs, we ain’t no puppies!!”
The Browns beat the Baltimore Ravens a month ago, 29-24, which sent shockwaves through the NFL. This game was Jameis Winston’s first start since 2022. After the thrilling win, the celebration in the locker room was short, sweet and to the point. Listen.
Paradigm Shift Quote
Leave it to Winston to put things in a unique perspective. In the Thursday night win against the Pittsburgh Steelers, he had a unique description of how momentum swung back and forth between the two teams. Cleveland led 18-6, only to have the Steelers score 13 unanswered points to take the lead. Then the Browns would score what ended up being the game winning touchdown with under two minutes to go to win, 24-19. Check out his answer here.
