Winston's mentor talks JH visit
One of the reasons why the University of Michigan hired Jim Harbaugh as their head coach was the hope that he could get the school back in the business of developing quarterbacks for the NFL.
Harbaugh's going to need some time to make that happen, but he has done some work this week with a quarterback who will be taken at or near the top of the draft. Florida State's Jameis Winston has been in Ann Arbor for a few days along with his tutor George Whitfield (and Whitfield's other pupil Bryce Petty of Baylor) and met with Harbaugh.
"It's part of the process that will help him as he gets ready for the NFL," Whitfield said, via USA Today. "We couldn't ask for a better person for him to visit with right now than Jim Harbaugh. Who better to answer questions about what he's about to face from teams and what he needs to know, than a man who only a few weeks ago was sitting across the desk asking those questions."
Whitfield said the trip was also about acclimating Winston to the time zone and throwing indoors after recent workouts in the San Diego sunshine and "turning over every stone" while preparing for the draft.
