Jameis Winston says he didn’t spend his first NFL paycheck, even after seeing $13.4 million in his bank account for the first time.
Ndamukong : “From your first time understanding what you came into as a first-round draft pick, what did you spend your first check on?”
Jameis Winston : “Man, I didn't even touch my first league check. In those first few years, I was getting a lot of endorsement money.”
“I don't remember specifically how much the check was, but the first time I looked at my bank account, I saw $13.4 million.”
“Seeing eight figures in my account for the first time, I was like, 'Yeah, I made it.' But I didn't touch it. I just wanted to look at it.”
“My first big purchase was a fancy, La-Z-Boy style massage chair for my grandma Winston.”
“It cost about $4,600 and had the built-in compartments to massage your legs and back.”
“My grandma was a diabetic and worked as a nurse clerk, so seeing the smile on her face and how much it helped her daily life was everything.”
“Growing up, the only time you ever saw a vibrating chair was at the mall. Getting her that chair is my real claim to fame.”
