Jameis Winston, the all-everything quarterback for Florida State University once appeared to be a top 5 pick in the 2015 NFL Draft. His draft stock could now plummet because of allegations he was involved in a point shaving scheme during FSU's win over Louisville on October, 30.
The draft situation is minor compared to possible legal ramifications. If the FBI finds evidence Winston was involved and he's convicted, he could face up to five years in prison.
According to Fox Sports, Winston may have deliberately played horribly in the first half of the game to help a former high school teammate, Chris Rabb, win a bet.
The Heisman Trophy winner's team was down by a score of 21-7 after the first half. They rallied to win the game by a score of 42-31.
A bookie who took the bet is making the allegation.
TMZ reached out to the FBI for clarification. They were told the bureau could "neither confirm nor deny that we are investigating allegations of point shaving."
