In the latest preseason game, Cleveland Browns backup quarterback Jameis Winston proved that his motivational prowess is already in midseason form. As the team took the field against the Seattle Seahawks, Winston gathered his teammates and delivered an inspiring, yet unorthodox, pregame speech.
Emphasizing the importance of focus and playing their best, he reminded the players of the times they had played the game of their lives.
He then seamlessly incorporated a reference to celebrating those victories at Cici’s Pizza, leading to speculation that the quarterback may have a sponsorship deal with the restaurant chain.
While the speech failed to translate into on-field success, with the team ultimately losing the game 37-33, it showcased the backup QB’s ability to energize and inspire his teammates. His unique approach to pregame speeches is already making waves, even if the results haven’t followed.
NFL Fans React To Cleveland Browns’ Jameis Winston’s Viral Pregame Speech

“Remember that time you went to CICi’s pizza and celebrated with the boys” 😂. I love this guy,” Wisecrackwire tweeted.
“gotta love Jameis man,” HQ said.
“Doesn’t get old,” Spida’s World mentioned.
I guess Jameis’ speeches will be the highlight of the Browns’ season. “We some dogs, we ain’t no puppies!” Wisecrackwire added.
“Dude is hilarious,” JB shared.
“The CiCi’s reference was elite. HOF hype speech,” Tommy Wilkerson posted.
“Jameis would be an amazing coach I just know it,” Yokai expressed.
“Haha. Love this dude. He’ll be starting by the end of the year,” JP reacted.
The true test for the team will come during the regular season, where they will rely heavily on the bounce-back performance of starting quarterback Deshaun Watson. However, with the QB’s motivational skills as a backup, the team may have a valuable asset to keep morale high throughout the campaign.
As the Browns prepare for their season opener against the Dallas Cowboys, they can take comfort in knowing that they have a seasoned pregame speaker in Winston, whose unconventional methods may just be the spark the team needs to reach its full potential.
