The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are generally expected to take a quarterback with the No. 1 overall pick in the upcoming NFL draft. There is debate about whether they will choose Jameis Winston or Marcus Mariota, but many people think that Winston is the better prospect.

Winston also comes with red flags, however. He was involved with numerous legal incidents off the field, the most serious of which was a sexual assault case. Many have wondered whether his run-ins with the law could mean that he will continue to have similar problems during his pro career, but Florida State head coach Jimbo Fisher says that Winston has been victimized, according to the Pewter Report.

Fisher appeared on WDAE-620 AM with Tom Jones and Rick Stroud and said that Winston has been the victim of character assassination, which is why so many people seem to view him as a bad person instead of thinking that he has just made some mistakes.

Fisher has been outspoken with his support of Winston every step of the way since the former Heisman winner announced that he was making himself eligible for the draft.

Fisher also has said that he thinks Winston deserves to be the top pick and will be a successful NFL quarterback.
